Don’t think marner fits into islanders cap situation. Holl is nice but he’s not filling any area of need. Engvall is a dime a dozen player.
I’m not sure what motivation NYI has for making this trade? Barzal is the number 1 C in their team, they have decent winger depth, and this trade doesn’t make them any better. On top of that, they have several bad contracts (komarov, ladd, etc.) that will come off the books before Barzal re-sings.
Barzal fills a bigger area of need, he fits their cap space better, he is part of their core, the islanders aren’t looking for a shake up, and the trade doesn’t really make them any better. Why would they even entertain this idea?
