Does @SI90 approve of these specific proposals?

 

[Romang67]

Uhm. Sure? I'd do that as a Jets fan.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Love the player but we don't need him and that cap space is nowhere to be found. Lastly not giving Willander up in any deal unless floored as we value him and his ELC when he arrives to the show.

Why is Barzal a cap dump

Elias Pettersson (11.5M) + Williander + 1st + Cap Piece (do Nucks have a 4-5M player they want to move?) for Barzal + Dobson?

What if this gets into a bidding war. Could we pry away Lambert?

None of those deals make sense for NYI. They'd be looking for a 1st back on top of an A prospect because a Barzal trade means a rebuild.

They are winning without him.

 

[VeteranPresence]

They are winning without him.

They're 6-6-4, that's not exactly lighting the world on fire.

 

[Fjordy]

Why only Western Conference? It's not fair.

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

They have been more cohesive without him.

 

[SI90]

Does @SI90 approve of these specific proposals?

Absolutely not. Some nice projects but 27 year old Barzal on a long term contract is worth more.

Agreed , that’s why I brought you into this lol

Honestly, I don't think so IMO. And that's not because I think Lambert is some amazing prospect or anything. It's for the same reason you even made this thread in the first place.

I would be very hesitant to trade a huge package for Barzal due to his contract and the value he brings in comparison.

I think the Jets try and re-sign Ehlers, Appleton, and Pionk (as UFA's), and they'll need to also give raises to Vilardi and Samberg. And they might also try to extend Connor as well (if possible) and that will take a raise as well (although starting in 2026).

The Jets are winning with a more balanced approach, and if Barzal brought a little more value for that $ I could possibly see it (a little more offense, better defense, etc.). But if he also did those things, you likely wouldn't be looking to move him either.

Right? lol. Feel like OP is underestimating their player here

You try.

 

[Siignal]

Honzek is probably untouchable at this point

 

[ViD]

If this is the price for Barzal, Columbus will do Sillinger + 2nd round pick

No retention required

This is very interesting indeed but I think just too big of a risk on both sides. That's one hell of a blockbuster though !!

It’s too much to give for Barzal’s cap hit and Dobson’s request next year.

You need ELC’s in key positions to cover that.

Shoot, they can have Sillinger plus whole return for Provorov.
