Frankly right now the Oilers have the Red Sea of blueline and Barrie is the Moses.
Barrie is much better, even with not being great in his own zone, his team generates more offense than it allows when hes on

Hamonic has never been as effective, he may allow less goals than barrie when hes on the ice, but they are scoring way less

They did lack a legit offensive d man too, it was a need, and at a 1 year deal it's a huge positive
