The 30-year-old returns to the Oilers on a three-year deal, with the team hoping he continues his offensive ways on the blueline.
Tyson Barrie's mailing address will remain in Edmonton for a few more years.
The Oilers have locked up the blueliner to a three-year deal worth $4.5 million AAV.
In the 56 game season of 2020-21, Barrie led not only the Oilers but the entire NHL when it came to defenseman scoring with 48 points. Barrie's 2020-21 season would see him become the first Oiler to lead in defensemen scoring since Paul Coffey did it in 1985-86.
Offensively, Barrie has always been a player that can put up the points and also has the ability to thrive on special teams, but questions about his play in his own end of the ice are an element of his game has been a concern. With that being said though Ken Holland sees value in keeping him and what he can bring to the roster.
