Has to be a Vancouver fan

No, straight up

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Similar to Laine for Dubois I guess. I could see it but Vancouver has to add a bit most likely. Depends if Boeser keeps this going and Barzal keeps being stagnant

 

[The don godfather]

No way must be some nonsense why would isles do it ?

 

[Sorry]

I like bourbon in my nog as well.

Vancouver would have to add multiple quality pieces.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

It's strengthening first line wing for the Isles by downgrading first line center.

Easy pass.

 

[pld459666]

Good deal from the Islanders

 

[Lockin17]

I would take Barzal a 100 times wayy before Boeser

 

[Joel Ward]

Barzal has more value as the center and a better point producer with an extra year on his deal.

FYI this is a proposal, not speculation.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

wasn't this in a different thread last week?

didn't make sense then.. doesn't now

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Barzal is like twice the player Boeser is

EP40 for Barzal is actually reasonable

 

[Killer Orcas]

Vancouver fan saying we add would love Barzal but he's worth more than Boeser by a bit.

Edit, unless Islanders have another top centre I don't know about, they aren't moving one for a winger either.

 

[molotce]

Yeah obviously just the players dont really compare. I dont like looking up at stats only in barzal/islanders as they are not a high scoring team these lasts years thats just not the way they are built (i do think its coming to bite them now) but barzal has always been the top scorer on his team and known as pretty much the very 'main' focus point for any top defensive pairs coming. I feel like Jt miller, pettersson, horvat, hughes etc give boeser a more dynamic entourage. Like hell barzal has played lots of games with komarov.... Put barzal on a high offense team like NYR or toronto i garantee his around a ppg player. Second theres the fact that the isles would be absolutely naked in the middle and i dont know if boeser is the play driver that can create as much to replace barzal without a driving center, it just feels wrong...

Except that Barzal is significantly better than Dubois and Boeser is significantly lesser than Laine.

Counter. Andres Lee for EP. Straight up.

 

[Wanderson]

We don’t want to trade Barzal. Can you guys stop?

 

[darrylsittler27]

Barzal is a franchise player, Boesser is a streaky scorer of unknown ability. No deal and I'm a Leafer.

Barzal for Petersen maybe.

C >>> winger

 

[Big Empty]

This deal doesn’t make sense.

I had suggested Pettersson for Barzal in a different thread.

 

[TBF1972]

Straight up

it was never close. not even the first few months of their rookie seasons. ever since the gap got bigger.

this would be straight up robbery by vancouver.

 

[Wanderson]

This deal doesn’t make sense.

I had suggested Pettersson for Barzal in a different thread.

There is no reason for the Isles to trade away their best offensive player. Trading Barzal won’t solve the issue they had in the beginning of the season with 13 straight away games, and being hit hard by Covid afterwards. The Isles will bounce back.

 

[lawrence]

Barzal has been better than boeser since their rookie years. I’m ok with this and I won’t argue this.

it will cost more than boeser alone to get Barzal. The pettersson one for one is way more realistic.

Op is not a Canuck fan. Never seen him before. Looks more like bait.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

I am not understanding why Pettersson has been brought up in trade threads lately. Does he have a disagreement over how he's being used? Are Canucks fans comfortable with Miller being 1C all the time? Is Gallant's system one people don't think EP can handle?

I would understand a Barzal/Pettersson swap if both seemed unhappy but Barzal seems to love being "the man" on the Island.
