Not really sure who though? We couldn’t trade any of our other wingers if we wanted too. They are safe

The internet GM's must have known something. Even Lou finally understood this roster was not good enough and he did nothing for two years.

I would say two years ago this trade would be better but we’re still trading for a position where we’re pretty good even two years ago.

Well they did play together at Worlds and I believe Horvat played LW for Barzal.

He can play wing and has played wing not an issue. As you said, they have some time on the ice together which is a good thing. Unlike some I’m excited to see how they perform together.

The better time to strike was after the loss to Tampa and for a wing would have been better.

Apparently Vancouver retained 25% of Horvat’s salary.

And 75% of his goals

NHL trade grades: Bo Horvat moves to Islanders. Is it a lose-lose deal?
2 hours ago — The Islanders made a surprising move for Bo Horvat but it doesn't help them in their playoff push much. What's going on?

I guess we’ll see but I’m trying to figure out what exactly is a win for us in this deal?

All we can do is wait now. If we win the Cup it's a huge win.

Anything short of the cup is a disaster of course.
