Tyson Barrie Fires Back at Predators GM Barry Trotz and Roasts His Entire Team
The Predators have been better than expected this year but the team still seems to be going in the rebuild direction.
Predators Give Barrie Permission To Seek Trade
Just last week it came out that the team had given permission to defenseman Tyson Barrie to seek a trade. The team acquired Barrie last season in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers that saw defenseman Mattias Ekholm go the other way.
Since the trade request went public, the relationship between the team and player has quickly deteriorated. Apparently, Barry Trotz was not particularly happy that Barrie's camp leaked the trade request.
Barrie Fights Trotz Over Trade Request
The new Predators general manager disclosed his disappointment in Barrie after the trade request went public. He expressed a desire to build a winning culture in Nashville. Apparently, Barrie doesn't fit in.
The general manager has been rather reasonable in his requests from Barrie though. If he wants to play everyday, he needs to play better, plain and simple.
Barrie, on the other hand, believes that his benching has not been warranted by his play. He added that he can't help the team win watching from the press box. Ultimately though, his argument kind of falls flat.
Fans online seem to have mostly sided with the predators in this case as Barrie comes across as entitled and nasty.
The Predators take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at 8PM EST.
