if they're in cap hell wouldn't that mean you'd be able to get him cheaper? thats a pretty steep price even if they're not in a cap crunch

holy overpay
Agreed, but if I toss someone with a 2nd, SOME VGK fans will come here and indicate that I have taken in large amounts of dr*gs.. While an overpayment it would most likely be something good for the HABS.
Let's keep sight that I think Barron is done with the HABS and will be tagged as a AHLer since HABS are looking to Reinbacher, Mailloux and Engström first. So providing him with a chance to look at a team that would like his style of play, and low cap hit is considered a trade mark of Hugues throughout the league and players. Give the player a second chance, and they will talk about you in a positive light when other players ask you how their time there was like and if they should consider playing there.
The WIN 1st is late, so this trade for a 27yrs old NHLer from QC is a win for them. These picks can give you an NHLer or players who never crack the league. SO in a sense I think HABS would benefit from having a veteran player who's still young, and signed for three years (Incl this one).
The 3rd is to ensure the trade goes through and sends Roy to MTL instead of another team who could try to match.

Evans + 2nd or a 3rd for Roy is the max I'd offer.
VGK would be looking to replace Roy in their bottom 6 too. Evans would probably be their target with him being a cheap contract.
Not saying you're off, but the only issue I see with this is that you're giving them cap hit which is what they need. At 1.7M$ trading them Evans gives them only 1.3M$. Giving them Barron offers them the possibility of trading him again, OR sign him to a two way contract (9750K$) and play him in the AHL until he's better on the defensive side of his play, or sign him at 1M$ to 1.2M$ and have more cap space.
The other point of the first vs 2nd as you say I explain a bit higher. But I'm not saying you're wrong. I more than likely start with a 2nd and 3rd with Barron and may end up with a 1st and 3rd plus Barron.
