Avs sign Tyson Barrie to 4 year $5.5M AAV Contract

Elliotte Friedman is reporting that the Avs and Tyson Barrie avoided having to adhere to an arbitrator’s ruling at the very last minute possible and finally got together on a new contract. Details as we know them so far are 4 years at $5.5M AAV.

Depending on who makes the team from the youngsters, there could be as much as $2M+ in cap space for another player, likely a forward. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.

I like it.
