Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) At the same time as news came out that Mark Fistric was suspended, the Stars announced they have dealt Krys Barch to the Panthers for a minor leaguer. Dallas GM Joe Nieuwendyk reportedly stated that the trade was requested by Barch, in hopes of getting more playing time. Barch's spot was more or less taken by a more versatile Jake Dowell, and Tomas Vincour is making his way up the Stars depth chart. Good pickup for Florida, in my opinion. Adds some snarl to the Panthers lineup. Definitely not a blockbuster deal, but just something else to discuss.

uk_redwing 495 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Krys Barch is one of those tough guys who actually gets some points in a season and can play. I don't think he's that overpaid at $850k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jollymania 162 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 wasn't generating enough physical play to be known as a grinder for them. Dowell seems to be doing better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey Convert 55 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Just in time for Florida's game against Shawn Thornton and the Bruins Should be interesting to see how it goes. The last time Barch squared off with Thornton, Barch ended up in a full-face cage for six weeks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that Barch is in the east, I look forward to seeing him and Cam Janssen meet up. They've had some dandies in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had completely forgotten that Janssen was out in Jersey now; those two are crazy when they go at it. I'm going to have to remember to watch next time they play, now.

Yeah, Thornton handled Barch last night pretty well. Barch always seems to have trouble with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
