NHL Watcher: Ryan Rishaug said on TSN said that he expects the Edmonton Oilers to make a big push for UFA defenseman Tyson Barrie after Adam Larsson decided to sign with the Seattle Kraken.
Any Oilers-Barrie deal could be more than $5 million per season.
Jonathan Willis: “The thing I don’t get about re-signing Barrie is that huge amounts of his value are related to his exceptional PP ability, but Edmonton’s top PP has been better with Nurse or Klefbom in the top slot than with Barrie.
