Tyson Barrie

Goals: 14
Assists: 43
Shots: 178
Shooting percentage: 7.9%
Takeaway vs. giveaway ratio: 20:38
CF%: 48.3%
CF% Rel: 2.0

Well, Tyson Barrie had a career season last year. His numbers were really very impressive. However, we’re not here to sing his praises but rather to set some goals:

  1. Improve the takeaway to giveaway ratio
  2. Record 60 points
  3. Contribute in the playoffs

Tyson Barrie is a puck-moving defenseman, and I well understand that he’s going to have the puck a lot — which means he’s going to give the puck away a lot. I would love to see him get closer to even on that takeaway to giveaway ratio, though.

Barrie’s 14 goals and 57 points were the best he’s ever recorded. However, why not shoot for the moon — 60 points?

Like Rantanen, Barrie was a player who disappeared last playoffs. he recorded four assists in six games. He’s supposed to be our Mr. Clutch — we’ll want to see that in the post-season.

The most important goal: For the love of hockey, keep the puck in the zone during the power play!
