You're targeting the wing team and player with Scheifele. What's the point for the Islanders? It's basically a lateral move that makes them older.

Poolparty is alright, but isn't really a need for the Jets.

WPG adds. No dice

Feel like the Jets would have to add enough to their side to make it unpalatable for them. Barzal being younger and having his prime years ahead of him makes him more attractive than Scheifele. I also think Scheifele's numbers start trending down towards the 0.7ish/PPG that Barzal has been putting up in NY - this is basically the Isles trading Barzal for an older, slightly worse defensively version of him.

Long story short, this doesn't solve any of the Islanders' problems scoring (it's the wingers).

Counter offer... Palmieri for Ehlers

lol

Great trades for the Jets but both teams decline.

Last off-season I'd give up a ton for Scheifele now not too much - one year older, one less year under contract but most important last year he seemed like a solid team guy this year he seemed like a disinterested disgruntled headcase - maybe that is not his fault and he'd snap out of it but how do you know? once a player puts out that the quality of their playing depends on their feelings then you have to put that into consideration.
