Confirmed with Link: Tyson Barrie Re-Signs 3 Years @$4.5M AAV

[DingDongCharlie]

This one was much better than I assumed it would be. The term and cap hit fit nicely.

 

[Fourier]

Pretty hard to agrue with this deal!

 

[The Nuge]

Top pairing dman for 4.5 per? It’s hard to see there being a bigger steal signed this summer. Thank you Tyson!!!

 

[Drivesaitl]

That’s a great contract.

Truly. A ton of posters here that assumed Barrie was just here to land a big contract to sign elsewhere have some crow to eat on this one. There was a ton of Barrie critics and cynics here and the player was dissed a lot despite leading the league in D scoring on what was a great season.

So glad to have him back. maybe now some more posters can start appreciating this player and what he brings instead of the constant negative views on "why he is here"?

This is the Barrie "Wants to be here" contract that I had hoped would occur. Fully in the Barrie camp from the moment we got him. Barrie as I stated was here to stay because of loving playing with McDrai. I mean the player said so several times, people refused to believe him.

 

[yzerman]

Very nice deal !feels like he is worth at least 5-6 on the open market

 

[LTIR]

Good deal especially when compared to Ceci

 

[FunkyChicken]

Great AAV, great term.
Not bad for a top offensive D.

 

[Tarus]

Might score 60 or 70 points next year at only 4.5 mill. A deal like that would be a steal for a forward, let alone a defenseman.

Has his issues defensively, but the coach clearly trusts him. The Oiler stars like him, and he wants to be here.

Good deal for the team

 

[29Beast97Mode]

He took a pay cut to stay in edmonton. Not surprising.

 

[McDrai]

Great deal. A+ on this one Holland

 

[The Moose is Loose]

This is a damn good deal. There’s a good chance he leads all dmen in points over these next 3 years while only getting 4.5 million per.

Sure he is weak defensively but that’s the only reason this deal is so reasonable. If he was a good defensive player he’d be getting 9.5+ million by 8 years.

He fills a crucial role for the Oilers and I’m sure McDavid/Draisaitl are glad to have him back. He gets the puck to them smoothly and presents a tertiary offensive threat for them to look for in the o-zone.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Weird this doesn't seem to be on the trade board. Good deal.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Weird this doesn't seem to be on the trade board. Good deal.

Because then people would be forced to compliment the Oilers

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Steal!

 

[Magnum23]

My new favorite oiler! Loyalty

 

[North Cole]

 

[Mr Positive]

The narrative was that both teams were just using each other for selfish reasons

This signing breaks that. He seems to really want to be here so that's a big deal

Strikes me as a really likeable guy too. Seems to have a really good attitude.

 

[snipes]

Love it, great deal.

 

[TennisBalls]

I am honestly shocked that we resigned the top scoring D-man for this contract. Yes, he has his warts, but these guys do not grow on trees. This could be a top NHL contract all things considered.

 

[The Nuge]

My new favorite oiler! Loyalty

Ya, Nuge and Barrie for 9.6 combined is absolutely insane. Let’s hope Nurse takes a similar discount too

 

[LMFAO]

Thats a great deal

 

[Satire]

This is a good contract and a good term.

 

[Porkleaker]

He took a pay cut to stay in edmonton. Not surprising.

Surprising to a lot of people, I kept saying he might re-sign for less if he enjoyed it and he did have a great season. Everyone I talked to (elsewhere) said he was just there to increase his value and get a fat contract somewhere else. Nope! Love this deal, can put this in the win column for Holland.

 

[AM]

The team just became more interesting to watch. That’s a good thing for an entertainment.
