I’d say trade him. I think the one or two year deal he is awarded will be around 5 mil per year. But he’s not sticking with Winnipeg long term. Your move Chevy, we trust you

Well since Dumba signed for 6M per and most likely stats/health will be a major talking point in arbitration...5M sounds about right for a reasonable award.

Islanders have so many real prospects. Don't do a thing. Let them mature. That team will be scary if they do nothing. Snow, as beaten down as he has been. has built an amazing team. Any half decent fan would have made those selections at the draft. But the pipeline is full thanks to Snow. Good on you Garth. Sorry to say. Lou will get the cred

The Isles only have 1-player worth anything and that’s Barzal. No way they are dumb enough to trade him. The Jets are in win now mode and have a ton of young prospects, so they wouldn’t be interested in more prospects or draft picks.

That’s just silly. They have plenty of talent

Does Lamoriello have many years history of making blockbuster trades for the Islanders? If not, then it can't happen now.

Love

That would be huge, Islanders would be a contender then...

Trouba has the Flyers as the only team in the league that he does NOT want to play for, he doesn't want to put up with morons like Glak 18, in fact he said he'd rather play in the KHL then in Philthydelphia.

Well they better check what pajamas he wore as a kid. Don't bring in another cornerstone player that doesn't want to be here.

Watching the Jets lose to VGK and they were one clutch player away. A younger Ladd would have fit the bill but don't discount Bailey for his vet leadership if the Jets are looking for something in return that will be a difference maker. They did lose Stastny so don't think they are not looking for a top six leader.

Lol. After ever draft fans always think their team has drafted someone that will make a big contribution to their team in the future. Then 3 to 5 years past, and reality sets it, that they will no different then the majority of prospects that will make little to zero contribution to the big team. Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson look like very good prospects today, but so do most players draft 11 and 12th on their draft year.

Then they can watch him leave for nothing in 7 years

You gotta love the maple syrup leafs fans. all of a sudden they are dripping out of every corner of the forest. They do a lot of talking about a club that has won sh!t in 51 years !!! And now that they have the pajama kid they are all walking around with their white gloves ready to hold the cup...Funny thing is they are poo pooing a trade to the Isles bc it is that maple syrup thinking that everyone is going to the leafs...
The isles have plenty to deal both in players and prospects.

Wow! Once again Barzal is the only player worth adding! The only player that could crack their top 6 and be worth adding! Again, the Isles would be dumb to trade him though. Keep the rest of your soft, old, defensively inept garbage! The intelligence on the comments here is something else!
