I’m as optimistic as they come, but acquiring a puck-moving right-handed defenseman is key for the Toronto Maple Leafs to become next level good.
Their defensive group is doing well, but it could be a whole lot better if they had someone like Tyson Barrie on the back end.
Now, I speculated during the summer months about a potential trade targeting scenario for Barrie’s services, but that was all just thinking out loud.
You remember that series, it went on for months.
Anyways, it appears his name has crossed paths in the ‘rumours’ column again, so I’ll spark the conversation up one last time and then we’ll leave it be – unless anything were to occur.
