But when I watch him I feel less concerned that he will "Gomez-out." Suzuki sure looks like he could be a player, and does not really resemble Yamamoto's extremely fortuitous play from 2020.

I think the Habs just living through an offer sheet situation helped expedite not putting themselves in that position again and getting the deal done. The last time the Habs went 8 years was with Subban who has been a near boat anchor the last couple of years. Always risk with these long term deals.
I think this is an overpay but I think it is one that makes sense for the Habs all things considered. The deal that brought him there was certainly the best move Bergevin has made as GM
