You are correct, they are not related.
It is an overpayment by the Habs imo, but teams that have built up assets can afford to do that to fulfill an area of need. Even if he doesn't revert to his previous form, it will help insulate the younger guys, and with a long-term deal, it doesn't need to be an immediate turn-around.
