The Edmonton Oilers are still waiting to fill some of the remaining holes on their way to becoming a playoff team. Most of them are on defense, and one piece could make that upgrade a lot easier. There has already been a lot of talk about Tyson Barrie.
Barrie is headed to arbitration Friday. The restricted free agent is currently in quite the disagreement with the Colorado Avalanche over his salary for a contract extension. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Barrie is asking for $6 million for one year, while the Avalanche want to pay him between $4 million and $4.
