Barnaby To Join ESPN

Earlier in the summer I posted a rumor that Matthew Barnaby was being looked at as a possible replacement for Barry Melrose as lead NHL analyst at ESPN. Looks like he had a good interview...

From Alan Pergament at The Buffalo News...

"According to broadcasting sources, Barnaby and the cable sports network are finalizing details on the deal to replace Melrose, who left after last season to become the coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Barring a last-minute snag, Barnaby's hiring could be announced within a few days."

...good luck Matt. Hopefully ESPN uses your colorful personally to make its NHL coverage more interesting, not just sit you behind a desk.
