Predators' Tyson Barrie: Gets first goal with new team
Rotowire
Barrie scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
This was Barrie's second game as a Predator. He tallied on a deflected shot in the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner as well as his first point since he was traded from the Oilers. The blueliner has 11 tallies, 33 helpers, 120 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and 45 hits through 63 outings between the two teams. With a weaker supporting cast and a smaller power-play role, it's tough to see Barrie finding the same level of offensive success in Nashville that he did in Edmonton, though he should maintain some fantasy relevance.

Predators' Tyson Barrie: Flipped in Ekholm deal
Rotowire
Barrie, along with Reid Schaefer, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick, were traded from the Oilers to the Predators on Tuesday in exchange for Mattias Ekholm and a 2024 sixth-round pick, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Barrie's overall outlook will take a significant hit with the move, as the Predators already have Roman Josi to work on their first power-play unit. Barrie should still be a top-four option in Nashville, but it's tough to imagine him replicating anything close to the pace he's shown with 43 points in 61 outings with the Oilers this season.
