hahahahahhahahahahah oilers omgGriffin Reinhart has 2 career NHL points.
Barzal outscored Reinhart's career high in a single game, 7 times this season.

Agreed. Every NHL team has conspired together this year right around November when Barzal was proving to be an elite talent. They all agreed not to game plan for him this year and will finally do it next year. They will put all their Defensman on strict workout regimens this summer that makes them a lot faster so they can keep up with Barzal.
Barzal will be lucky to crack 30pts next year after the teams start planning for him.
I would be very excited for the Isles future. The game plan to me is to build the team around him. The Isles already have 2, 1sts, and 2, 2nd rd picks this upcoming draft. They will likely have Bellows ready next year. The new Head Scout Kautonen seems to be a change in direction for the positive for the Isles draft. I mentioned this in the JT thread. I would deal him at the deadling and stock pile even more picks. And if they want JT back, they have all summer to try. Sneaking into the playoffs is not always the best scenario if one has no real possibility winning the Cup. Think Macro not Micro. Barzal is a stud and the Isles should try to build a young team around him.
We need stud Defensman. Bouchard Wilde McIsacc those are my favorite guys. Bouchard May be out of reach with his rise and Dahlin is only if you win the lottery. But yes Barzal is a player you can build around.

LOL I can tell you don't watch Isles games if you think the forwards are why the defense sucks.This is actually key, and something I'm looking forward to seeing.
It's not just Barzal, the entire Islanders team doesn't play any defence, I feel bad for their defencemen because the forwards do absolutely nothing to help them. All they care about his padding their stats.
Anyone can do that, but that's why the Islanders are where they are, and other teams are where they are.
Is this sarcasm?It usually takes 6-8 weeks for delivery (more because of the holiday rush) when you order tape on a player. So teams will be getting their packages in the mail soon that they ordered a couple of months ago to help them game plan better. That's why they haven't done it yet.
Actually the forwards are approximately 33% of why the defense sucks. The other 66% is goalies and Dmen.LOL I can tell you don't watch Isles games if you think the forwards are why the defense sucks.
Jesus Christ why even open your mouth
Most of his opinions are unpopular with us tbf.Your opinion is probably quite unpopular amongst your fellow Leaf fans on here.
Is this sarcasm?
Very defensive.Agreed. Every NHL team has conspired together this year right around November when Barzal was proving to be an elite talent. They all agreed not to game plan for him this year and will finally do it next year.

Defense is all the Islanders play. Barzal's line is the only one that outshoots the opposition consistently.Let's see how he does next year when teams have a game plan for him and the Islanders play some defense.
I'm sure guys like Gretzky, Lemieux, Selanne, Crosby, and Ovechkin who exceeded 100 points as rookies are far beyond Barzal. I just counted quickly and it looks like Selanne had 37 mulit-point games in his rookie season.
He’s a well respected poster and a frequent on the isles boards and always welcomed. I’m going to say yes, that was sarcasm
