Colorado Avalanche: Frustration with Tyson Barrie
The Colorado Avalanche are facing salary arbitration with Tyson Barrie. Arbitration hearings are being held in Toronto July 20 to August 4.
Colorado Avalanche skater Tyson Barrie has filed for salary arbitration, and that makes me very frustrated.
Usually fans of a team over-value how much a player is worth. As in, “I’ll trade you John Mitchell for Sidney Crosby.” Ok, maybe not quite that extreme, but we do tend to put a high price on what our players are worth.
I feel like, unfortunately, the opposite is happening now. For some reason — 102 points in the last two seasons — practically every team wants a piece of defenseman Tyson Barrie, and that’s artificially inflating his worth.
