Proposal: Barzal to Montreal

[CauZuki]

Pacioretty
Lindgren
Juulsen

For

Barzal

Montreal gets an excellent young C to rebuild with and Islanders get a sniper that needs a change in scenery but can still score 30-35 goals possibly more with Tavares. Solid upcoming goaltender in Lindgren and a strong defenseman in Juulsen.

isles pass. Barzal is a rookie C that is on pace for 80pts. Pacioretty + a couple meh pieces arent gonna get it done

I can think of one player in this deal who absolutely does not need a change of scenery.

 

[Hogan86]

Nope. Montreal doesn't have attractive enough pieces to bag a top young gun. Look to the draft to get a young centre to build around.

Lindgren would potentially be an upgrade on Halak/Greiss at this point (or at least give similar goaltending for 2-3M less). Allows them to move one of them. Also waiver exempt if goalie move waits closer to deadline.

Juulsen is a good two-way D prospect. A year or two away.

They are not meh pieces. Audette+Fucale would be meh pieces.

Still, I doubt NYI does that, especially with Tavares not yet re-signed. Even then, having an awesome 1-2 punch at C as proven effective before, so they might try it. Factor in that Patches is not a PO performer and is 1 1/2 year from UFA and NYI doesn't do it.

 

[BlueBaron]

They'd be insane to trade him until Taveres is extended.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

MTL can’t acquire Barzal, and NYI can’t and won’t trade him.

 

[lazycop]

Barzal is not for sale. At all.

 

[QuadDeuces]

There is not a single asset in the Canadiens organization worth Barzal.

 

[The Great Weal]

Why would the Isles trade a young superstar center with the uncertainty that Tavares resigns?

neither are high end prospects. Lindgren was an undrafted free agent sign that has look good in a short NHL stint but not so good in the AHL. Juulsen hasnt lived up to his 1st rd draft billing (yet)

these guys dont come close to bridging the gap between a rookie C that is nearly a ppg player and a 29 year old 30-35g/60-65pt winger that wont come close to that this year.


Isles would probably want Price is any kind of deal for Barzal, as it makes their team better. the OP doesnt

While the Islanders would be foolish to accept that remember that St Louis also went undrafted. Using that as an excuess seems kind of stupid.

Lindgren is not looking good only if you don't know the tire fire that is a Sly coached team. He was the clear MVP last year.

Juulsen has looked great in the AHL since returning from mid/long-term injury and was rock solid in the WHL.

I also acknowledged that NYI wouldn't do the deal, but I disagreed Lindgren and Juulsen were meh prospects.

 

[Kcb12345]

Barzal is worth more than anyone in the Canadiens entire system and NYI wouldn't move him, nor would they move him in a package deal for a bunch of smaller and less valuable pieces. And the fact that the proposal doesn't even include Drouin is shocking

 

[Lebowski]

With the uncertainty surrounding Tavares, I don't see anyway to make a deal for Barzal.

 

[boredmale]

As an Islanders fan only way I would trade Barzal at this point is

1. Tavares resigns with us for sure

2. We gets a 25 and under defensemen who is already a top pairing defenseman with room(I would seettle for 2nd pairing with alot of room to grow if he is closer to 20) to grow or #1 who is in his late 20s

 

[CalgarySnow]

Habs have nothing to interest the Isles. In fact there is as much chance of this happening as Tavares signing for the Habs

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Not only are we not trading Barzal, but we don't need Pacioretty. There is nothing in the Canadiens organization I'd trade Barzal for.

Lee is so underrated it hurts.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

If Lindgren and Juulsen are such great prospects as suggested by the author , maybe the Habs should just keep them.

I have no idea what Montreal could possibly give up to get Barzal. I'm not even sure such a package exists.
