The only reason he’s on the table is he’s going to be a huge cap problem for them. Especially if they have Kadri locked in. Only they would know how preliminary contracts have gone. I imagine if Barzal is moved at all then they knew they either couldn’t convince him to sign without checking out UFA, or they simply couldn’t afford what he’s due.
