Barzal has the same leverage that Tkachuk had coming off of an ELC. He has some sway because of the quality of player that he is, but Lou holds most of the cards. Barzal can holdout, and get a Johnny situation where he hits UFA sooner, but likely he does what Tkachuk did and take a high money bridge.
