The Toronto Maple Leafs could use a top four right shot defender, that much hasn’t changed since the Roman Polak signing. Tyson Barrie fits that bill.
Barrie is eligible for arbitration and Joe Sakic intends to take him there if they can’t work out a deal on their own. The word from Sakic is that he wants to keep Barrie, though GM’s say a lot of things.
Acquiring Barrie would likely not be a cheap acquisition, but it would be one that is worth the payment. Barrie is a piece that would make the Toronto Maple Leafs better now and in the future.
