The answer to this question lies only within the minds of the Edmonton coaching staff. Barrie has no other function other than to be PP1, and until the coaches decide that Bouchard would be better for the team (which he is), things will probably sit like this.
The best play is probably as stated above, similar production for each, more or less, with the hope that as time goes on Bouchard will be more and more likely to take what belongs to him.
