you can't offer 8 year unless you already own the player, in order to do that habs would need to trade for tavares wich isn't happeningHabs offers 8* max salary NOW
this is the only situation i'm actually concerned about. Jersey offers a similar life style as long island and a playoff ready team. Crazy scenario, he could sign a 3 yr deal with Jersey hopefully win a cup and then sign with the Islanders when they move to Belmont and have collected a couple top picks and barzal has fully developed.New Jersey can afford this, plus they can offer him being Taylor Hall's center for the next 7 years.
