Stealing Barzal

No thanks

You tried it with Aho.
Barzal almost made it to the cup with a worse supporting cast.
This is the fiest montreal team i can see competing at center with the Lightning, Boston and Toronto.
At least you have a chance in the middle.
Not my fault you have 15 million in net.

Matt barzal is a fine centre but not worth more than 8. He doesn’t get us anywhere. Also our problem is not between the pipes

WAY to much for Barzal.

Habs don't need another small centerman. They need size on the wing. How does it make sense to give 11M to one player when that player won't make you any better

Money wise it is.
Look at every other teams percentage of Cap.
The only team wasting more money blueline back on old people is the Sharks and look what happened when one of their horses went down.
Why do you need a 4 million dollar backup?

And disagree look at Barzals playoff and rookie numbers.
He is better than Jack Eichel and is certainly worth 10 or more on a 5 year deal.

You need centers that will make a difference not just fill a spot.
Then JK can grow and you have an unreal 3C.
Like i said. Remember you are fighting for 3 spits behindnthe Lightning Bruins and Leafs.
Ottawa will be good in 2 years. Your window of Webber and Price is now.
