Darren Dreger: The Edmonton Oilers and Tyson Barrie are finalizing a one-year, $3.75 million offer. He had at least two offers that were bigger.
Frank Seravalli: Barrie turned down more money to be able to join the Oilers. One offer was for $6 million.
Ryan Rishaug: “Barrie signing would buy the Oilers time to be patient with Evan Bouchard. He may or may not be ready for prime time, and Barrie will give them another year to make sure he develops into it properly.
