As a Sens fan, I'd propose:
Barker + 1st round pick for Volchenkov.
Volchenkov can push you over the hump in the playoffs. He's the extra goalie you want on the back-end and as great as Keith and Seakbrook are, Huet would be thrilled to have Volchenkov save at least 5 shots for him every game.
It's also a perfect situation for Ottawa cause Barker has the potential to become a top pairing defensemen... and his contract hit is a little more than what Volchenkov is making right now and for 3 years.
Heck I would do Barker + 2nd round pick for Volchenkov
Again, this is all hypothetical. I hope Murray does whatever he can to re-sign Volchenkov. 3 years at Phillips money would be amazing deal

Barker + for a playoff rental?
Yeah, not gonna happen
