The Colorado Avalanche beat an NHL arbitrator to the punch by signing defenseman Tyson Barrie to a four-year, $22 million contract Sunday.The team announced the signing, and a person with direct knowledge of the contract revealed its value to The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the Avalanche did not provide that figure.The deal was reached two days after both sides made their cases at an arbitration hearing in Toronto but before the arbitrator issued a ruling.Barries was the first case heard by an arbitrator this summer.The 25-year-old Barrie has led Avalanche defensemen in points in each of the past two seasons, including a career-high-matching 13 goals and 36 assists for 49 points in 78 games last season.Barrie also matched a career best with five game-winning goals, and led the Avalanche in power-play points with 21 (three goals, 18 assists).Overall, he has 40 goals and 113 assists for 153 points in 264 career games.

Drew Doughty Jersey . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee turned up its defensive intensity to produce a surprisingly lopsided victory over Georgia Tech.Shembari Phillips and Grant Williams each scored 14 points as Tennessee cruised to an 81-58 triumph over the Yellow Jackets, who hadnt trailed an opponent by more than eight points all season before Saturday.Overall, thats something we can continue to build on, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said of his teams defensive effort. Thats got to really be the staple of who we are.Tennessee (3-3) was returning from a nine-day layoff after going 1-2 in the Maui Invitational last week, but it was Georgia Tech that looked like it hadnt played in over a week. Tennessee stayed in control virtually the entire way and led by as many as 28 points.Georgia Tech (4-3) played without usual starting guard Justin Moore, who stayed in Atlanta because of a stomach virus. Josh Heath, who made 15 starts in 2015-16, started in Moores place and scored just two points while shooting 0 for 7.Our mentality has been attack, attack, attack, Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner said. We played `un-attack today. We played real passive. I was disappointed in our energy level. That falls on my shoulders. Hopefully I can analyze and examine some things and decide what we can do to get better.Tennessee was playing its third straight game without Jordan Bone, who has a stress fracture in his left foot. Bone had been Tennessees starting point guard before his injury. The Vols also played a third straight game without forward Admiral Schofield due to a violation of team rules.The Vols overcame the absence of those two guys by getting big contributions from just about everyone who did play.Williams 14 points represented a career high for the freshman forward. Phillips, a natural shooting guard playing point guard for now, had five rebounds and a career-high seven assists with only one turnover.I feel liike I can play off the ball and I can play on the ball, Phillips said.dddddddddddd Whatever the team needs at the time... if somebody steps up and (Barnes) feels like theyre doing a better job than me, Ill move back to the wing. But personally I do enjoy playing the point. Im going to continue to get better at it every day.John Fulkerson scored 12 points and Robert Hubbs III added 10 points for Tennessee.Quinton Stephens scored 15, Christian Matthews had 14 and Josh Okogie added 11 for Georgia Tech. Ben Lammers had 10 points and 14 rebounds.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets offense didnt look quite the same without Moore, who averages a team-high 4.8 assists per game. Georgia Tech shot a season-low 32.7 percent from the floor and committed a season-high 19 turnovers.I thought their athleticism bothered us in some areas, Pastner said. We would get to the paint, but we would just throw up a `hope shot. Hopes a bad strategy.Tennessee: The Vols didnt look intimidated at all against a Georgia Tech team that entered the day with nine blocks per game to lead all Division I teams. Tennessee shot 52.8 percent from the floor and had only two of its shots blocked.OVERDUE OFFENSETennessee forward Lew Evans, a Utah State graduate transfer, had seven points, six rebounds and three assists Saturday after failing to score in his first five games with his new team. Evans had averaged 8.4 points per game at Utah State last season.KEY STATGeorgia Tech shot 46.2 percent (6 of 13) from 3-point range but just 28.6 percent (12 of 42) from inside the arc. The Yellow Jackets missed 16 of their first 17 two-point attempts.NEXT UPGeorgia Tech: At VCU on Wednesday.Tennessee: Hosts Presbyterian on Tuesday.---More AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
