From an outside perspective, I think it's a pretty fair swap given where the teams are at IF -- and we're still waiting to hear the news -- IF Bo extends. But the positives for the Isles are you have a guy coming in who consistently scores ~30 more points than the current NHL'er you swapped out. And you finally have a scoring threat to go alongside Barzal.
There needs to have been an extension, though. Can't have paid the price you did for only 35 games.
Also, I'm not convinced Raty is all that big of a deal in the grand scheme. He's a good prospect, but that's not saying much given the Islanders overall prospect pool.
