Tyson Barrie Confirms He Won't Be Back In Toronto.

There's a couple of questions that Toronto Maple Leafs' general manager Kyle Dubas has to deal with this offseason. One of them is of course figuring out the jigsaw puzzle that is the Maple Leafs' defense, It sounds like he's got at least one answer for now. Leafs' defenseman Tyson Barrie spoke recently and he's ready to move on when asked about his pending free agency. "It's got to be the right fit. I think it has to be a spot where they are in need of someone like myself," he said. "A good team headed in the right direction and a good organization. I think there's a lot of right organizations that tick those boxes."
While he'll be leaving Toronto, he's still focused on helping the team during the upcoming playoffs. "We're still not certain on what's going to play out here. At this point, I think all I can do is focus on getting ready to play, if we are going to play, and take a run with the Toronto Maple Leafs."

Tyson Barrie on his next contract: "It's got to be the right fit. I think it has to be a spot where they are in need of someone like myself. A good team headed in the right direction and a good organization. I think there's a lot of right organizations that tick those boxes."
