Page 57 of the CBA - A Player aged 18 or 19 earns a year of professional experience by playing ten (10) or more NHL Games in a given season. A Player aged 20 or older (or who turns 20 between September 16 and December 31 of the calendar year in which he signs his first SPC) earns a year of professional experience by playing ten (10) or more Professional Games under an SPC in a given season.
So Barrie has 5 professional seasons according to article 12.1 under the current CBA.
A two year deal would put him into unrestricted free agency
I thought I explained this to you yesterday. You have now displayed that Barrie has played five professional years in the NHL. Did you look at the criteria for how a player becomes a UFA? Section 10.1, page 28.
Any Player who either has seven (7) Accrued Seasons or is 27 years of age
or older as of June 30 of the end of a League Year, shall, if his most recent
SPC has expired, with such expiry occurring either as of June 30 of such
League Year or June 30 of any prior League Year, become an Unrestricted
Free Agent
Does that say professional experience seasons? Or accrued seasons? From Article 1, "Definitions," page 2.
"Accrued Season" means any League Year during which a Player was on a
Club's Active Roster for 40 (30 if the Player is a goalie) or more Regular Season Games
If you want to go digging through the NHL CBA and find proof of where it states that an accrued season actually follows the same criteria as a professional season, feel free to do so. Until proven otherwise, I'll believe that the creators of the CBA did intend for there to be a difference in meaning between "accrued" and "professional" seasons.
