The Islanders would not trade Dobson and Barzal for a center who would not resign with them after trading their two best skaters.

That offer probably would have landed Guentzel, but I was under the impression that Podz was not on the table to be traded. Add on that Bunting has been better this year than Kuzmenko and is signed both cheaper and for longer. Guaranteed first is better than conditional though.

If Calgary wants Lindholm back they'll just sign him as a free agent and keep the assets.
