RicochetII Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Matthew-Bar...a-3rd/125/21798 6'7 centerman. drafted 26th overall in 2003.

No chance to move past LA depth at C Traded for a 3rd round pick To NY this depresses the heck out of me for obvious reasons. I wouldn't mind having a 6'7" C on the roster, but he isn't a top two and we don't need a 3rd or a 4th. He hasn't really defined his role, so I would have picked him up and tried to find one for him for the sake of a third round pick. Worth a chance. Those stats are from 2008 however. Last season he had 4 goals and 1 assist, but it took 28 games to get them. He had 10 goals and 11 assists in 42 games with Manchester last season. So either LA has determined he isn't a legitimate offensive threat and marginalized his production or his development has lead him away from the offensive side of the game. Considering our situation, again, worth the cost of a 3rd rounder to make our own determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
