Thread: Perfect TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cementhead73</b></div><div>The trade doesn’t make Edmonton better either. Barrie has been well worth his contract and is our 3rd or 4th best Dman. Issue is Broberg and other prospects have not progressed. Oilers need a top 2 Left dman to push others down the list. A bottom 6 forward isn’t going to make much difference unless he is a spectacular 3C,</div></div>

EDM has expressed interest in Lafferty, we know this. He is fast, cheap, and a reliable bottom six forward that probably still has some more upside to give, in the right situation. The idea here is for EDM to create cap space and bring in better defensive players But, in this case, I don't care about EDM.

The problem with the proposed trade is CHI has absolutely zero interest in Barrie or the task of MAYBE flipping him. We are rebuilding and he is too old to be part of the future, he takes up roster space, and doesn't add anything to our team that we need in the short term either. If EDM needs to move him, but they can't find any takers, that means they will have to pay us to take him, because we don't want him.
