Quoting: VladislavTretiak
Barrie to MTL would probably cost EDM Xavier Bourgault
Point producing dmen who play 18 mins a night whilst on very good contracts cost a TON to move out. Its way better to sign worse players in free agency for more money. Thats what the market says.
To compare a similar offensive dman see below.

Klingberg just got 1 yr at 7 million dollars.
Barrie outproduced him, and was more effective defensively in all situations and didnt cough up the puck as much as klingberg ( BY A STRETCH) and makes only 4.5.
Give your head a shake if u dont think barrie would get more than that if he was on the free agent market.
