As bad as Barrie has been defensively, he's been good on the power play.
He's been in on 63.5% of the Oilers total power play time/game which ranks 5th on the team, so essentially he's been a part of the top unit.
He's got 4G and 24A operating on the PP.
Ekholm's played 18% of Nashville's PP and has a total of 0 PPG and 3 PPA.
While not comparable directly, since the Edmonton's top unit is much more potent, this is something to observe going forward.
I'm guessing they expect Bouchard to fill the gap left by Barrie's departure and not Ekholm.
