Nah, if the Islanders want Karlsson they'd have to start the conversation with Barzal or else Sens won't deal

Barzal is more valuable to the islanders than karlson

Hes good now but when his contract is up in two years he will start to decline and will still get a huge contract. Barzal could be the isles #1 center next year if tavares leaves. Losing both of them would be devastating to the isles and would mean that they wouldn’t make the playoffs for years to come, whether karlsson is there or not. So Barzal is definitely more important to the isles in the long term than karlsson would be. Barzal is the reAl deal. Watch him play and you will agree. Plus karlsons foot is fucked now. This is a good deal for both teams. Ho sang has tonnes of potential, same with pulock. 1 1st 2 2nds 1 3rd and a player who still has potential in dal colle is a good return for a karlson right now. If Ottawa waits till next year they will not get this return.

This has got to be one of the most idiotic things I've read on here. Karlsson is a top 5 NHL player ffs, he instantly becomes the best player on any team he gets traded too. Aside from PIT and EDM.
