No, it won't happen. Let me have fun.

The Islanders get rid of their worst two contracts, and if they can shed Leddy and Komarov too, they get the cap space needed to chase the biggest fish on the market, while still getting to draft a potentially elite prospect who can play on Barzal's wing in 2-4 years. Even if Lou misses on getting Hall, between Wahlstrom, Bellows, Holmstrom and Raymond/Perfetti/whoever, the Isles will still be set on offense for the foreseeable future. The Isles miss out on Lafreniere, but instead get a chance to chase the Cup for the next few years without really losing any long term valuable assets.

The Senators have to take on two undeniably bad contracts and lose their 5th overall pick and a 2nd rounder. But in return, they get the franchise altering forward they'll need, and they get to keep their 3rd round pick that they can still use to draft Stutzle or Byfield. After 3 more years of building, Boychuk and Ladd will be off the books, just in time for Lafreniere's and Stutzle/Byfield's contracts. The Sens take on two awful contracts in the short to mid term, but once Ladd and Boychuk are off the books, they're set for long term dominance.
