Barrie is much better than Yandle and is significantly better offensively and defensively than Yandle.

This is bizarre to me

I really don’t see how Dougie Hamilton gets 9 and Tyson Barrie gets 4.5

One is very good.

The other one is much less good.

Makes sense to me - one is worth $7M and the other is worth $2.5M

Well one is obviously no good

Look, these 2 guys are primarily one dimensional offensive defensemen

Career wise
Dougie has 607 GP, 106 g, 235 a, 341 pts
Barrie has 610 GP, 88 g, 306 A, 394 pts

I’ve seen Dougie play D. He was soft in front of the net and in the corners. Not all that great defensively.

Was just being in Edmonton so demoralizing that Barrie viewed himself as hot garbage? Some kind of Stockholm syndrome?
