old guy Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Why not, open space, a need, and hopefully some trade fodder down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Whatever happened to Oils bringing Barrier back... If Flames do move Andersson and Weegar they will need nhl players to fill their defense so this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Highly doubt any team is going to give Calgary any assets for a 33 year old pylon who has never once shown that he has any place in the NHL. This is just an attempt to tank for a high pick by bringing in a defenceman who refuses to learn how to play defence. 1 hour ago, Wing said: Whatever happened to Oils bringing Barrier back...

Edmonton has very little. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Hogg Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 He’d be a better fit in Chicago, padding his stats with Bedard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams have given up low and mid picks for depth towards the deadline countless times, it's a low commitment move for Calgary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing Barrie can handle at the NHL level is serving nachos in the press box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they’ve at least reached out to him and Shattenkirk by now. Should be looking to upgrade every position even if it’s just Friedmans spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be interested personally. We've made our moves. don't need to waste precious cap space on scrubs. We have plenty of payers fighting for spots as it is. Don't think those two want to be pine riders eithers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their contracts would be similar to any depth guy we already have so cap space wouldn’t be an issue. I think either could beat out Forbort for a regular spot to be honest.

What makes these unsigned guys viable options for the Canucks in September when they weren't in July? Especially when at least 30 other teams also passed on them? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks identified the players they wanted and signed them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good decision and it's best to ensure that AHL trash like Barrie and Schultz aren't at risk of getting ice time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Millers Body Language Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Be interesting to see if he is signed and likely flipped at the deadline with a lower cap hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shattenkirk was good when young but he's washed I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the worst defense of any cup winning team all-time. PIT won their cups based on counter-attack, spent a ton of time in their own zone (both cups) and Crosby/Malkin - their third line and goaltending. Doumelin ... was nobody then. Cole was considered serviceable that's about it. Schultz played out of his mind for the Pens, after getting crucified for his lack of D game in EDM. That's a smell that's hard to wash off, and for sure followed him around. Ageee to stay far away. Would rather Shattenkirk, at least he's got some grit to his game. Also no thanks. Teams going to have to wait to find a miracle top four guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
