It's an interesting trade. I've loved Barker since he was in the Juniors, a character player with lots of talent. This would solve two problems for the Habs: an offensive defenceman, and a young LD (with the loss of Valentenko). Like someone said, he was on pace for 40 points last year, at the age of 21. He's also 6'3 215lbs which is a fantastic size.

But it's tough losing Higgins, his two-way play and speed really compliments this team. He's also an Alternate Captain.

Tough one.
