Tyson Barrie was a bit of a question mark last off-season. Most significantly, he was a restricted free agent, and the Colorado Avakabcge didn’t sign him until September 7, 2014. Part of the question, though, was whether he’d be able to sustain the kind of clutch play he showcased in the second half of the 2013-14 season.
Well, Barrie led all Avalanche defensemen in points and was one of six players to earn 50+ points last season. He became only the fourth defenseman in Avalanche history to earn 50+ points in a season. So, I guess Barrie answered that question at least.
