<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>It was tested last game vs. Pitt, which is something Knoblauch seems to do (test different pairings, normally done in case of injury to see who can shift where in a pinch).

I watch Nashville cause I like Carrier and hope that's who we get, Barrie doesn't match what Holland wants with Nurse and I don't see him as an upgrade on Ceci overall.
Also the Nurse Barrie line was pretty widely criticized as they didn't really compliment each others games; however, I'll respect your opinion.

If this is your view of what you want all the power to you, but there is some downgrading in many areas outside of getting Tank (who I wouldn't move Rodrigue for).</div></div>

I can respect the difference of opinion. I knew before posting this was going to get a lot of criticism for the Barrie move. I’m a fan of his always liked the way he sees the ice and sure might not be a stud defensively but I do think that part of his game has improved over the years more than most will admit. I can and do respect different opinions.
When it comes to Rodrigue my issue is being unsure where he fits moving forward with Edmonton. With the oilers swinging and perhaps missing hard on Campbell once that’s settled threw buyout or trade I think oilers will want to take another swing at solidifying the position leaving no questions around it heading into next year. Tough spot for a guy with zero experience. If we could get him in a few games down the stretch that would change a lot but I’m predicting they prioritize trying Campbell over Rodrigue due to financial commitment.
