I can’t see the Flames getting anyone better than Barrie at a cost less than a 3rd round pick and I’m definitely not interested in doing that.
They should also give Solo a shot too. And when I say a shot, I mean play him with Weegar and see what he can do. Don’t play him in the 3rd pairing with Pachal or Bean, play Solo with Weegar.

Barrie solves the puck-moving part of the equation, but not the 'solidify the D' part of the equation. If anything, he weakens it.
If they're going to do it, it needs to be someone better than Barrie. And like the right-shot C problem, it makes sense, if the person acquired is young enough to fit the timeline.
