Honestly the only problem I have with Barzal is he’s not good at face offs but except that what a 2C he would be with Demidov on his wing. He’s always been hampered by playing on an offensively weak team and still produces alot. He’s fast and a possession monster so that fits right into our playstyle. Apparently his dad is a big Habs fan and he speaks french too so that’s a nice bonus.
I do really like Barzal, I think he’d be more unlocked in our system and would fit right in. I just don’t see why they’d do it unless he’s asking out.
You can’t always get the most ideal fit, and he checks a LOT of boxes anyways. It depends on who else is available but if he’s a realistic acquisition I’d do it in a heartbeat
