I see your point, however, I think Barrie's defensive game is underrated. He doesn't go to the body, nor play a gritty style. What he does so well and has continually improved on is his decision making. He makes smart plays and knows when to jump on the rush or stay back. He plays a modern game of hockey where the defender plays the most crucial role of transitioning the play.

If that isn't enough, I actually counter your claim that Barrie is getting the lion's share of the offensive opportunities. This season, Johnson actually had 7 more neutral zone starts per 60 than Barrie, but only 4 fewer starts offensively per 60. However, Barrie only had 3 fewer starts defensively per game. Overall though, Johnson got more offensive zone starts than defensive zone starts (individually). Nonetheless, Barrie's possession metrics were far better than Johnson's in every metric. Every, single, metric. I can get nitty gritty here, but go look at the naturalstatrick data if you want to dig into it yourself.

If I were Sakic, I would have dealt Johnson and signed Barrie to 8m per year without a doubt in my mind.

Parameters are on-ice, relative, 5v5 for the 2018-2019 year btw. Even when it comes to even strength, Barrie still dominates in most possession metrics and has a PDO under 1 whereas Johnson has a PDO over one. Just something interesting to point out.

And if this isn't enough, Barrie's age, health history, and recent production are other factors to consider as well.

Have you seen the division? Every team either sucks or has massive question marks. It wouldn't be a shock to see the Oilers, Canucks, or Coyotes win.

Do you need to currently have all the money you propose to give to said player in an offer sheet?

You need the picks you hope to compensate with, but not the cash till opening day, right?

Listening to Holland talk about his plan and he keeps repeating that he wanted to get more depth for the bottom 6 and guys who could potentially score 10 or more goals..... but what I am really curious about is who he considers our top 6? Currently I only see 3 guys that are legitimate top 6 players.

Bury or buy out Manning and Gagner. Trade or buy out Russell. Cap problem solved.
