It makes plenty of sense. Barrie's bread and butter is the PP. The Oilers have no PP QB, so he will play 4 minutes a night on the PP with McDavid and Draisaitl. Then next off-season he will go to market and cash in when there is more economic certainty. Barrie could legitimately be a 65-70 point player in Edmonton and sign a 5x7-8m contract next "summer" when the purse string loosen.
