Still thinking about it, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooo close Jets would draft Barzal, but damn Chia had to take a massive turddump and give away Barzal to Snow. Connor is still solid, but we need centers more than wingers atm =)

Just stop. Close this thread. Theres not a single asset in the entire organization that is worth barzal. Literally not a single asset.

The only player from Montreal that would get it done would be Weber at 6m retained
Would that get it done?

If I was the NYI, I wouldn't do that deal. I would only trade him for a young D that is or looks to be a #1 Dman at some point. And even then, without Tavares signed yet, no way would I make a move yet.

I have no idea what Montreal could possibly give up to get Barzal. I'm not even sure such a package exists.
maybe if Montreal offers their franchise and let them build whatever team they want and allow all the cap dumps to come along, there's a possibility... other than that, Barzal will stay a NY Islanders for a very longtime

File this with the "McAvoy to Buff" threads under the title: Please don't inquire about rookies having breakout years on teams that have absolutely no need or interest in trading them for multiple lesser pieces, including high salaried vets or UFAs to be.

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

Even still, I wouldn't trade Barzal. The kid is a stud and NYI is trending upwards, if they could get decent goal tending they could be a legit contender in the East.

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.

So it's safe to say people have no clue who Anders Lee is?

dream on; get it that these forums are more of a fantasy tirade than anything else realistic, but it's a real shame when opening the forum and see all these proposals for clubs' young hot talent. ain't gonna happen

never understand why people make these type of trade proposals

NY doesn't create a massive hole by trading a 20 year old C who's well on his way to being a star regardless of whether Tavares re signs .

They were gifted this pick when Chia decided he needed a to blow his brains out to acquire a bust and then were fortunate Boston passed on Barzel 3 times because he was way too skilled for there team .

Coming from a fan of a team that probably wont even be in Ontario next year !! LMFAO when it happens to that disaster of a franchise. Turris for Duchesne !! Brilliant.

This is terrible for the Isles.

Also, Barzal isn't french Canadian.
Luckily he never grew up Leaf fan. That way we don't have to listen to all these Halah,Ryder er i mean Kapanaen and the Leafs 1st continues offers.

Barzal is a phenomenal talent but realistically we can't fit him into the current cap situation with all of our elite talent on forwards.

Not the worst issue to have.

Wanna chat about Sergachev's stats vs Drouin?

This thread makes me feel dirty. Yuck. If barzal doesnt play his entire career for the isles ill be floored. This fanbase has fallen in love with him. His value to the Islanders will surpass anything he could return. He is a future superstar and he will wear the blue orange and white for his career.

1. Where team?
2. Why the potshot at Boston in a NYI MTL thread?
3. Pastrnak, Marchand, McAvoy and Bergeron skilled enough for you? Thought so.

If the defenseman was Mete instead of Juulsen (who also seems like a future top4 D and played very well in the WJCs) would that make a difference?

Top 3 sniper over the last 5 years + Mete + Lindgren?

Marchand according to rumors was close to being dealt multiple times and i'm sure McAvoy and Pasta's name will come up with rumors as well if they go through an poor season.

I like blonde girls with either green or blue eyes, sports cars, good food and big blue skies. This has as much to do with my original post as your answer does. Try again.
