Off Season Rumours

“You know what, I do think Tyson Barrie is going to go. “I did a game there where Montreal was in Denver. Don Meehan was there at the time with Craig Oster. They’re the Newport guys who handle Barrie. I just got the impression from everybody involved that they weren’t really even in the same ballpark. “Knowing the way they finished their year, I’ve got to think it’s very likely he moves on.” wrote:

“I don’t think there’s any question that Peter Chiarelli is all ears on the fourth pick. If they had to use it, they’re going to get a good player there. Whether it’s Tkachuk, or Dubois, or they decided to go for a defenseman, that’s fine. But there’s no question in my mind that they’ll be using that as currency and bait to try and see if they can get themselves a National Hockey League defenseman or an NHL-ready forward now with a lot more size and skill than what they currently have.

“So I think it’s most certainly in play. The question that a lot of teams would ask is, ‘If I’m picking somewhere in the Top 10, how much of a premium do I want to move up. What am I going to get at 4 that is that much better than what I’d get at 7, 8, 9, or 10.’
