REPORT: Top Predators Defenseman To Be Traded Soon
Predators defenseman Tyson Barrie appears to be on his way out of Nashville after GM Barry Trotz gives him permission to talk to other teams about a potential trade.
Barrie To Be Traded By Nashville
The Nashville Predators are known for being a defensively-minded team and a team that is able to develop many top defensemen. Amongst those are Roman Josi, Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, Shea Weber, and many more. Currently, they have offensively-minded Tyson Barrie on their roster but it appears like it will not be for much longer.
Elliotte Friedman reports the following:
There is word today the Nashville Predators have given Tyson Barrie permission to talk to other teams. Barrie is expected to be a scratch vs the Rangers and is a UFA after this season. This allows team and player to see if there is a better fit elsewhere
Through 22 games this season, Barrie has scored 0 goals but has helped out on 9 others. He is also a -5 on the season.
A Potential Home For Barrie
Throughout his career, Barrie has played for Colorado, Toronto, Edmonton, and most recently Nashville. He was moved to Nashville in the middle of last year as a part of the Mattias Ekholm trade.
Barrie has proven that he is able to flourish the most when he is on the powerplay having scored 20+ powerplay points six different times throughout his career.
With one year left on his contract, he could be moved to a team that is struggling with their powerplay and he could emerge as a powerplay specialist for his next team. Ideally, he could be moved to a team with a good powerplay as is but if he is moved to a team that does not have a powerplay QB, he could be the piece that puts it all together.
