Proposal: NYI/Columbus and NYI/Arizona

[rt]

After this disappointing season I think the Islander might need to make a couple tweaks. Just throwing this out there for a couple ideas but

NYI

Barzal
Beauvillier

Columbus

Jenner
Laine

This trade hopefully would give the Islanders the major goal scorer they need, they would need Jenner to replace Barzal as a Center though in Hopes one day Raty can one day be a top 6 center(and basically go with a 1-2-3 punch of Nelson-Pageau-Jenner till then). In the case of Columbus you keep hearing Laine's name being brought up so I figure where their is smoke there is fire.

NYI

2022 First (13th -assuming we don't win lottery)
Wahlstrom

Arizona

Chychrun
Crouse

From an Islander perspective Chychrun gives us the best top 4 in the NHL and Crouse can be a useful player who I think is just entering his prime and probably would excel in a Trotz run system. Arizona basically goes on a youth movement more.

Not enough for Chychrun alone. Take out Crouse. Switch Wahlstrom with Raty.

I proposed that exact deal on the Isles board and a fellow fan told me it wasn't enough. I thought it was pretty fair, so it's good to see you propose the same thing. There's always risk with prospects/picks, but the potential upside for AZ is really good.

My impression was that AZ would demand another first rounder or Raty, I think the ask was four premium assets. I still think this is sort of a misuse of assets given other possible options but it stings less and Bolduc (or Salo) makes sense as part of the return.
