NHL insider Frank Seravalli, reports that the Calgary Flames are among the teams circling veteran defenseman Tyson Barrie of the Nashville Predators. Barrie, a proven offensive force from the blue line, has seen a decline in his role in Nashville and has been made available for a trade.
While the asking price likely won’t be significant, Barrie is motivated to find a situation where he can contribute more regularly. The Predators have played well this season, and Barrie’s opportunities have dwindled, including some time as a healthy scratch.

Despite the on-ice struggles, Barrie brings something special to the table: character. He’s a beloved figure in NHL locker rooms and has strong connections throughout the league. This makes him a desirable target for teams looking to bolster their on-ice performance and dressing room chemistry.
The Flames could be an enticing landing spot for Barrie. Their blue line could benefit from his right-handed shot and puck-moving abilities. Specially with the departure of Noah Hanifin.
