so he will get between 4-6 mill? he deserves that anyways. I thought Barrie would be asking for more tbh
just sign him long term Avs... guy is deadly offensively and is only gonna get better
6x6 would be a steal if Avs could sign him to that now... he will be worth more after next season IMO
I assumed he was asking for an insane amount and that's why he wasn't being signed... seems like Avs are the one to blame now for not getting this done
This is gonna bite Avs in the ass BIGTIME next year if a longterm deal isn't in place this offseason

Wow. I know it's the arbitration game but that's a lowball from the Avs.. Have to think he either gets the 6 mill or gets something quite close to it

Not really, the Avs are going to have much better comparables for their range (Josi, Klingberg, Faulk) than Barrie has. The only really decent comparable Barrie has is Dougie Hamilton, he is not anywhere close to the player Karlsson or Pietrangelo are, and there aren't really any other decent comparables in that range.

And it's his ask for a one year award.
He's probably looking for 7-8 M per year on a 7 or 8 year term is what this tells me.

Has it been made official that the Avs chose 1 year? I thought for sure they'd go for 2.

Schenn asked for $5.5m. Settled for 4 x $5.125m
Johansson asked for $5.25m. Settled for 3 x $4.58m.

Yandle's contract can not be used since it covered UFA years.
No, the Avs have picked 2 years based on what Friedman reported in that tweet. It was their choice.
Barrie, since he filed for arbitration, automatically was limited to a 1 year request.
OK...but neither of those deals is 7-8 years.

Just because his camp is asking for 6 million for one year, doesn't mean they would be okay with a long term contract at 6 million.
Probably because the Avs don't want to sign him to a 1 year, 6 million deal. They'll just have to turn around and give him a raise next offseason if he improves again.
Based on Freidman's tweet, it's clear that the team wants 2 years, and Barrie's camp wants one.

My confusion was that Barrie elected arb so what he wants doesn't matter. The Avs decide if it's a 1 or 2 year deal.

I'd be stunned if the Avs didn't go the 2 year route. They're not going to want to go through this again next offseason.
If he signs for 2 or less years doesn't this become ROR 2.0? He'll be a pending UFA the summer before, so.
