I honestly don't mind this contract. He can slot anywhere in our top 12 and play in the role that is asked of him.

Few RW heading to FA might have helped him get a bit more than expected, but I’m happy to keep a player with such a unique skill set! I’d say it’s fair

Solid player and deal ends at 32 - right around when you'd like it too. Not a steal by any means but a valuable player to keep.

Maybe a bit high of an AAV but good deal for what he brings

I remember this exact contract being signed by Paul Byron a couple of seasons ago, and he spent last year bouncing around on waivers. This much money and term for a 28 year old bottom 6 guy is a big risk and Bergevin seems not to have learned from his own mistake

Have you seen both playing in the playoffs?

If you compare it to Goodrow's deal, this one is going to age better.

Seems a tad on the high side, but still a decent contract.

Byron was on waivers for cap reasons (same exact reason as Tyler Johnson). He wasn't anywhere near a waiver quality player

Great contact for the Canadiens. I like Armia as a bottom 6 forward and what he brings to the team. Good signing!

So Byron AND Armia are among bottom six top 10 of the league if we understand MB move. One is the fastest pker eva, the second munch a puck for age. Do we have the best third liners of the league ?? Could that be it and why we made scf?

He by far earned his contract last year and this is just a tad raise. He's at minimum a 3rd liner on nearly every team in the league

Definitely fair value, and I’m glad to see him back. Likely means we’re out on Hamilton, and I can’t see the habs adding another winger now.

I had him slightly lower ($3.25M x 3) so no complaints here. He's worth keeping around for that price. I think that probably means Byron is moved, depending on how free agency shakes out.

Slight overpay but I think he will stay useful throughout the duration of his contract.

Good deal for both sides . Armia is big , good shot but inconsistent sometimes. The one that compared Byron to Armia doesn’t no much lol. They are complete opposite, and Armia’s contract will end 2 years before Byron In term of age (32 vs34)

Length is good, but AAV feels a little high after a down season.
