If you want Barzal, I feel the islanders will be asking for Cozens.

Feel like that is the starting point.

Cozens, Mittelstadt, and thompson for barzel ?

Certainly a long those lines. But Cozens is definitely the main piece of the puzzle.

and probably at least 2 1st rd picks.

The islanders want to win now. How does trading barzal help them do that?

Ik why does everybody think he is getting traded people on this website are clueless.
If anything he is gonna get a offer sheet which the isles will match

Elliotte Friedman speculated that barzal would rather play in an offensive minded system so now everyone thinks he wants out.

I’m a Sabres fan, so I’d LOVE to get Barzal
But NyI trading him is about as likely as us trading Eichel

If it were to happen,
they’d probably want Cozens + our top10 pick this year
Maybe more

I actually dont think thats enough. And its more than i would pay. Cozens and this years first should be top 6 core players- based on cozens current trajectory and this years draft class anyways. We have had crappy luck with several early firsts in the decade, im hoping the luck breaks our way.

I don’t wanna trade our 1st or Cozens either
Totally agree that those will be pieces for our top6 for years
And if Mitts works out (sill very possible),
then our forwards are actually looking really good moving forward

Was just saying that it’s what NyI would likely demand from is in a trade for Barzal
