Welp, I couldn't have been more wrong about Barrie's perspective here. Guy passes up free agency completely and signs a very fair deal.
But yeah, this signing costed us Bear (for old school hockey guy reasons, didn't have to), and also blocks Bouchard from opportunities to develop on the PP (doesn't have to, but Barrie needs that PP time to look useful, and Tippett is all about the top loading everything with the things he's more sure about). Also gives us Ceci who I would not be surprised to see falls back to being a guy fans love to hate (because he's not good, another big lug that can't move a puck).
Cascading consequences of doing the easy thing.

Can the best PP defenceman in the league really be 'blocking' someone else from playing on the PP? Should we care?

Nurse got points at the exact same rate with McDavid on the PP this season. Our PP scored at a higher rate with Nurse+McDavid than Barrie+McDAvid.
If you take Barrie's PP ice time and give it to Nurse with the points rate Nurse was getting with McDavid there, Nurse leads the league in points (maybe wins the Norris too) and Barrie is in the 30's for points.
IMO, in the end, Barrie didn't do more than Nurse or Klef did in the past, arguably less. That's the luckiest ice time in the NHL for a dman, being a passer on the blue line on our PP that is run 95% by 2 of the best players in the NHL.
I'm glad at least we paid Barrie like he was largely just lucky to get McDavid time.
