Ryan has 4 more years left at 7.25M. Montreal needs to be well compensated for that. In that proposal earlier, they're not just helping Ottawa by taking on his contract, they're helping out Tampa. Two of their division rivals. You charge those guys extra.
And then you want to add Pacioretty into the deal. Point or Pacioretty 1-for-1 isn't enough. Point has 1C potential, sure. But Pacioretty has been one of the league's top scorer for years. That's not potential, it's been proven for many years now. He should go for more than just a player in his 2nd year in the league.
The Habs need to maximize both parts of their contribution in this deal. Only Brayden Point and a 2nd is not a fair return for their role in this. Whether they get part of that return from Ottawa and the other part from Tampa is fine.
Look at all the pieces Colorado got for Duchene from both Ottawa and Nashville. They didn't get it all from one team, but overall, they got a lot.
