The Preds and Barrie are on a collision course for a divorce.
Barrie would like a change of scenery, especially since he has been a consistent healthy scratch in Nashville.
Barrie is a veteran - '2-way / Transitional' defenceman who can quarterback a PP unit. He's an average defender who plays the game with a minimal amount of physical push back. Best described as an 'area' defender. When his 'routes' are off, in his zone, he has a difficult time containing his check to the perimeter.
Barrie has played 35 games for Nashville in 23/24
He's averaged 18:26 TOI - with 99% of his ice time coming at even strength and PP - he rarely sees time on the PK
1G - 11A and (-10) defensively.
Leans bottom pairing at even strength. Distributor on the PP.
