[EXTENDED] Barzal 8x9.15

[butch]

Barzal is a superb talent who has been squandered.

he's been to two conference finals before he turned 25 Nelson scores on that breakaway in OT VS TB and I love their chances to defeat the Habs in the finals

yadaa yadaa covid shortened seasons

I don't like it when you compare it to other deals signed over the last 2 yrs, especially looking at the M.Tkachuk deal signed just a few months ago.
