All due respect Habsy, but **** off with the Price shit.
There is no universe where the Habs get value for him in a trade, or where the Leafs will have any interest in acquiring him and that albatross contract.
Stecher is probably better than Barrie defensively tbh. It's a low bar but I think he reaches it. Offensively it makes them worse though, yeah. Not sure I care. At least get something for Barrie. Salvage the Kadri trade. Kerfoot for Kadri is a good, not great deal but if they can flip Barrie for real assets it may become a great deal in the end.Does that make us worse?
Well Vancouver would have to add. Maybe a 2021 1st since they don't have their 1st this year? I don't know.I can see why Vancouver would trade Stecher for Barrie, but not other way around.
I'm basing it on this tweet:Is Stecher even involved in this? Seems to me that "Trade" was made up on TSN radio by Carlo and people started to run with it that same day as fact.
Correct.I feel like they are equally useless, just different.
if you can get Stecherplus something good it makes sense.
Barrie wasn't a Dubas player either. Sometimes you have to take whats available. It may not always be what you want.Stecher is not really a Dubas player, at least based on what we've see thus far.
I can't see that swap happening.
On the other hand, if Vancouver will cough up a 1st+ package for Barrie, we need to think about that for a guy we're obviously not re-signing.
