[Rumor] Barrie gone from COL

[RangerFan]

Gotcha-- I don't disagree with any of that. I get the comparison when it comes to contract vs contract. I was interpreting it as Green's worth vs. Yandle's worth which obviously was not your intention. I definitely wouldn't want to give Yandle more than 7 a year.

I think we are in total agreemeant here especially the bolded.

[JHouly]

How about a Trouba vs. Barrie trade?

Avalanche NOT trading D Tyson Barrie, GM Joe Sakic tells me. LT deal preferred for RFA, or arbitration. "Either way, he'll be here" - Sakic

Pewpy. Scratch one of the big right-handed-Dmen off the trade market. Can't say I blame them though.

[Shift Disturber]

I wouldn't have minded seeing him get away from that gong show. On the other hand Colorado has a decent core for Barrie to grow with.

Yandle's price just went up.

I'm glad Joe read all of the online forums and gave himself a chance to reconsider.

[LawMan]

Damn top RH-Dmen are dropping off the Oilers target list like flies. First Hamonic and now Barrie. That's only going to drive the price up on guys who may be available.

Good for Barrie, COL, and fantasy owners!

Axeman, I never said [Yandle] will get less than $6M. I said probably more. Probably closer to $6.5M.

Bringing this back because it was bang on. Nice job.

Definitely impressed Yandle took less than he could have had.

Definitely impressed Yandle took less than he could have had.

He took a little less, but not a large amount less. He got his 7 year certainty, and he is locked into a team that should be contending for all 7 of those years.

Also, on a team on an upswing, and tied for the lowest tax rate (with Tampa) in the entire NHL.
