Re: Toronto Trade: While Barrie is a truly gifted offensive RD, he may be the wrong guy for Toronto. He is an undersized, smooth skating offensive Dman who really is not unlike Gardiner, Reilly, and Zaitsev. (they have Dermott, Rosen, Borgman and Liljegren and Nielsen as well) Leafs need to add a shut down guy, with some size, and if they have some offensive skills and mobility great. Barrie should get Colorado a great haul, but don't think it will be from Toronto! As an aside, on the deal as laid out, RW is an area of strength for the Leafs, but I doubt they would dip into it twice for the same deal.
