"Before the 2019-20 season, the Maple Leafs made a trade that would set off a series of events and have so many fans asking "What if?" to themselves several times a day. It was a bigger package with more parts than this, but essentially, Toronto dealt homegrown center Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche for Barrie, and center Alex Kerfoot. It is a move that now some view as one of the worst trades for the Leafs in modern history."
"During the 2019-20 season -- his only one with the Maple Leafs -- Barrie scored five goals and 39 points in 70 games. He had a minus-7 rating and took a whole 16 penalty minutes. His offense, compared to his days in Colorado, was suffocated -- his shots on goal went down, his shooting percentage suffered, and he wasn't anywhere close to the reliable 50-point offensive defenseman he was when lighting it up with Nathan MacKinnon in Denver."
Tyson Barrie announced his retirement from professional hockey at age 34 after playing 822 NHL games across five organizations. He spent one season with the Toronto Maple Leafs following a 2019 trade that sent Nazem Kadri to Colorado for Barrie and Alex Kerfoot. In 2019-20 Barrie recorded five goals and 39 points in 70 games, with a minus-7 rating and 16 penalty minutes, and saw declines in shots and shooting percentage compared to his Colorado output. Barrie later signed with Edmonton, was a minor part of the Ekholm trade, and played 13 games for the Calgary Flames last season.
