If we’re in ( I suspect we will be or close ) not a chance he gets traded.

Yeaaah I dunno. I have zero to back as much up to with other than my humble opinion, but I think dubas is a realist and more into asset management then making the playoffs with a team that isn't so likely to go all the way.

He sees the team for what it is, he knows that if push comes to shove trading Barrie isn't the difference between winning a cup or not, but missing out on those assets he could fetch in return and watching him walk for nothing does make quite an impact down the road.

Of course I could be on glue. Just don't see doobie passing on the opportunity when the team with Barrie is unlikely to see the second round.

He should trade him & recoup picks to bolster the prospect pool. Q is will Shanny & MLSE allow it?

If it's pitched as not only to bolster the prospect pool but obtain additional assets to find another top 4 RHD with term... Then yes I think so.

Shanny has always been all about building the team the 'right' way after all.

The standings say a lot of different things every day.

I try not to look too much into it.

I still laugh at the Habs/Sabres fans who came in here every day about the current standings.

Not at all it matters not to me. Just wanna see good hockey & see where it leads. More focused on that & the next 1-2yrs when top prospects crack the line-up. Also watching contracts expire or traded or buyouts for cap space.

The comment was only to shut up Santo & maybe teach him to research more than not at all. He’s challenged on depth of knowledge 😂😂

Habs have sucked for years. Fire MB. Sabres finally looking decent but still a ways to go.

I’m sure the Habs will sign a few 4th liners for 3 million a year. Luckily they won’t have to deal with recapture penalties like the Nucks.

Speaking facts nothing more. It’s a long grind ahead when wins are much harder to get.

I’m happy you get satisfaction with day to day standings.

I wish I could but I’ve learned to not give a (frank) until it matters.
