Raleigh, NC – The Canes have moved Riley Barber to the St. Louis Blues organization for a few picks.
To CAR: NYR 6 2020 & STL 4 2022
To STL: Riley Barber
The Blues had shown interest in Barber over the years, but until now the teams were unable to consummate a trade.
“We had high hopes that Riley would push for a spot in the NsHL, but for whatever reason he just was never able to get any traction. However, he worked his tail off every game and never once complained. We felt that if he wasn’t going to get a shot of more playing time with us that we need to find him a new opportunity. We’d like to wish Riley the best and thank him,” stated GM Ron Jones.
Replacing Barber in the lineup is Torrey Mitchell, who has had been fairly snake bitten since coming over from the San Jose Sharks organization.
