Why are we doing Vancouver a huge favour by taking that horrible OEL contract and giving them a 2nd? He has 5 more years left at 8.25 mil AAV. 31 years old when next season starts. 29 points in 79 games last season. Isles aren't doing that. Barzal is worth more.

Perhaps McIsaac and a 5th for OEL.

Islanders pass big time, not even close for Matt Barzal.

It’s ONLY 7.26 mil AAV with the Arizona retention! Please, take him! (Even though I really like him as a player his contract is just so bad)

Well this makes ALL the difference! LOL

Barzal would probably command more than Eichel did on the trade market, and Detroit doesn’t have the prospects to make that deal without Seider and/or Raymond included. No player or pick in that package is remotely interesting to the Isles.

NHL fans r legit out there making trade proposals and then say they won’t move a former 5th round pick who will never make the show in the deal 😂😂😂

Yeah idk bro. I’m guessing this guy is trolling but who knows these days.

I think he was being sarcastic. I was too. Some of these CFACGM trades I'm seeing lately...oh my heart.

Idk where these Barzal trade ideas came from lmao. It’s something else.

I’m assuming Barzy is worth more than the Jack Eichel package and nhl fans be like “Here’s Adam Erne for Mat Barzal one for one”

Yeah as if the Isles would trade Barzal. But I've noticed a pattern on CFACGM. Anytime a player has 1 year left on his contract, he MUST be traded! Because... reasons! Rental! Rental! Reeeeeeeennnnntttaaallllllll!!!!!!!!!

Even if they r under control and publicly stated they want to sign an extension lmao

Barzy legit wants his money now before Lou can spend it on someone like Ben Chiarot lmao

Have you heard the Jeff Petry for Hronek and a 1st trades? LOL

That is such a bad idea it makes Muzzin for Beau seem reasonable

Tbh Isles fans r just as likely to rip off their own team on an ACGM as any other fan. And don’t even get me started on the “buyout” Josh Bailey crowd who don’t understand someone would trade for Bailey lol

Yep. But with the Red Wings it's like this...

Yzerman: Our first priority this summer is getting long term contract extensions for Larkin and Bertuzzi.

Larkin: I've never thought about playing for any team but the Red Wings.

Bertuzzi: I want to stay here in Detroit because I love being a Red Wing.

CFACM posters: Well they have to say that. But what it really means is that they're up for grabs! Rental! Rental! Reeeeeeeennnnntttaaallllllll! Oh yeah and because they're rentals we're coming with BS lowball trade offers. Kerfoot for Bertuzzi anyone?

Rrrrreeeennnnttttaaalllll!!!!!!

Analytics crowd is even worse. Pretty sure Jfresh called Keith’s play underrated and I was just floored.

A Habs fan recently told me Jeff Petry is a Norris quality defenseman.

Larkin isn’t leaving. I’d be hesitant with giving Bertuzzi big money cause he’s a lunatic.

A Canucks fan told me OEL is better than JGP.

Apparently the Red Wings are trading Larkin, Bertuzzi, Vrana, Hronek and Ned because of reasons. I guess we're just a feeder system for the rest of the NHL. The Montreal Expos. Yzerman doesn't want to win. He wants to get Jeff Petry and make him the captain.

Lmao. The “Isles should trade Dobby and Sorokin crowd” enrage me

I can't understand this. Like how does any hockey fan wake up one day and think to themselves "I want to make the Isles a better team. Oh I know. Let's trade Dobson and Sorokin! Our franchise Defenseman and Franchise goalie! Yeah man! Stanley Cup here we come!" LOL

Barzal would command more than Eichel, huh?
