I was one of the posters who was on board for Hanifin for Barzal trade ideas. My thoughts were that Barzal would get around $8 to $8.5 mil and Hanifin will get over $9 mil and we needed a top 6 forward (this was before Kadri signing as well)
The trade idea doesn't work as well IMO now that he got $9.15 mil as Hanifin still has an extra year at $4.95.
Barzal probably is worth the money but he hasn't proven that yet and is 25 now. But i do think coaching and style of play contributes to his numbers.
