Proposal: Bring Matty Barzal Home- Canucks-Islanders

[Mike C]

He's only played 11 games. Had 80 points in 80 games last year in a very defensive isles system. There's something seriously wrong with EP, he's been regressing steadily since his 100 point season. Doesn't look like the same player anymore.

So I'm not the smartest guy in the room. Why exactly would the Islanders trade for a guy in steady regression who isn't the same player at the asking price of 2 young assets plus a top pick again?

Barzal is on pace for 13 pts and makes 9 mil.

On pace is such a silly measuring concept

For example. IF I get the wife to agree to, you know.....on the first of the month, I'm on pace for 31 scores that month. We all know full well that the one tally is likely to be the ONLY one so my "on pace" is just a nonsensical hoax perpetrated for wishful thinking

Let's live in the what IS and not the what IF
