lol. Josh is pretty well regarded in Winnipeg. This particular talking head got that part wrong.
When Adam returns I would try getting Barron out with better players. I’d put Barron on the wing with Perfetti and Toews and keep Vladdy as 4th line centre. Barron would be effective on the second line.
