The Colorado Avalanche and offensive defenseman Tyson Barrie are in contract negotiations. On July 1, Barrie becomes a restricted free agent.
Barrie is represented by the same agency that represented center Ryan O’Reilly, though the man meeting with GM Joe Sakic has been Don Meehan, not Pat Morris. As we all know, those negotiations became very contentious and led eventually to O’Reilly’s trade from Colorado.
Is Tyson Barrie heading in the same direction? And is that cause for freak out?
