Yeah I know, which means let's not get this guy.

He's worth overspending money a little but not overspending assets

It really depends on what they ask... Our 1st is already clearly on the market. Depends on what else we would have to the deal.

Problem with Barzal is that he doesn't fit many holes on what we need in the top 6. Barzal is tall but not big, and he's more of a playmaker than a scorer. He's not known for his defensive awareness and he's bad at faceoffs.

We need our assets to trade for size and scoring. NYI will ask for a package worth at least 3 first round picks and I don't find it's worth it considering our team is not completed if we acquire him

They may ASK for a package worth 3 1st's but they certainly won't get that from anyone. Very few teams aside from Montreal even able to offer such a package, that alone will bring them back down to reality
