This is an opportunity for the Leafs to do a bridge deal with Barrie. 2-3 years to bridge the time remaining in the pandemic era. Revenues in the NHL are now uncertain, so any dreams of that big multi year contract are gone. Do not be surprised if you hear an announcement of Barrie re-signing with the Leafs for 2 years at $3.5 (or some other equally shocking term and number). This type of scenario will be repeated all across the league. UFA's signing for short terms for surprisingly small dollars. Entry level contracts and league minimums are now the coveted prizes as most teams attempt to simultaneously shed large segments of their payroll.
Barrie will play fine on a team that actually deploys him correctly, and has actual NHL level Defense to compensate for his offensive style. I don't feel bad for the leafs for getting bent over in that deal, I feel bad for Barrie getting dealt that hand on a contract year.
Leafs need to blow it all up, the reality is that Dubas inherited a legitimate playoff team and has reduced it to a soft cream puff shit hole team. Trade Nylander for starters for any sort of help on D.
Realistically someone will give him a 6×6, but based on his age, the down year and the flat cap I wouldn't give him more then 4×4.5 … but some desperate team out there with some money to spend will pay him
Probably go to the Bruins and become an all-star. More realistically, Nashville to play with Josi, if he's lucky. Detroit if he wants to stay East, Anaheim if willing to go back West.
The Leafs aren't benefiting. They might have the money but the salary cap still exist. They gave Matthews, Tarves and Marner all that money because they thought the cap was gonna keep on rising but now your gonna be flat for at least 2 years. There screwed.
Other GMs are aware of Toronto’s desperation and will make them pay for their poor decisions over the last 2 years. Toronto tried to buy a cup and now they’re screwed. Sleep in the bed Dubas and the pinstripe braintrust made.

THE LEAFS ARE MULCH AGAIN
Noodles instantly regretted that, but stuck to it lol.
Tyson Barrie: More than twice as many give-aways as Cody Cece. Let that sink in for a moment…….
He will have to sign a short term and a big discount and prove his worth. He was terrible in the playoffs and it cost him some sheets
Hopefully good so leafs get rid of that bum
Ia his name 0-dog? What are u 12? Your like 60 man 😂😂😂

4 x $4m? You guys are nuts.
$5-6m AAV guaranteed.
Canadian teams all suck
Listen to these meatheads ragging on Barrie because of the leafs shit defensive systems. My lord.
About the same as it was for Gardiner. It would have been higher without this years lost revenue.
"Leafs can use their financial might IF they do it right"
Have none of you met Mr. over generous Kyle Dubas?
Good luck with that happening.
Tyson barrie is junk
Another terrible trade acquisition fitting well into the long history of bad deals from TMLs
The Pittsburgh Penguins not making money in 2020 isn’t as shocking as it sounds.
He ain't worth much. Should sign for 3 million.
Dubie will sign him for 6-7 million

Tyson Barrie is one of the worst Defence-man I have ever watched
Toronto-based dreamers ….. Barrie may not even be in the top 10 of available FAs Dmen.
Barrie is taking at least 5m per year. Toronto’s lack of defense is not just his fault.

I would give Tyson Barrie 2.75 mill per year
Over rated
Vancouver should replace stecher with him.
I'd much rather Gardiner over Barrie . At least Gardiner hit the net occasionally.
Lol Edmonton on a discount bitches
Welcome to Edmonton Tyson!
