Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman dropped some pretty significant news on Saturday regarding Nashville Predators defenceman Tyson Barrie.
Friedman revealed that the Nashville Predators have granted Barrie permission to seek a trade and won't be playing on Saturday against the New York Rangers.
"There is word today the Nashville Predators have given Tyson Barrie permission to talk to other teams. Barrie is expected to be a scratch vs the Rangers and is a UFA after this season. This allows team and player to see if there is a better fit elsewhere." Friedman said.
Barrie, 32, was traded to Nashville back in March by the Edmonton Oilers, but so far it hasn't been as good of a fit as everyone had hoped.
In 22 games this season, Barrie has nine assists, ten penalty minutes and is a minus-five.
