I wonder, Barzal is RFA, what would it take to get him?
If Johnny is being dangled, maybe he can be part of that package?

Barzal might not be generational, but I would think he's essentially untouchable; without him, the Islanders don't really have any star players. Sure they have lots of good players, but Barzal is kind of the jewel in their crown.
We could offer-sheet him, but unless we're signing him to a team-crippling contract and giving up 4 1sts, it will be matched. Trade-wide, unless he requests a trade, I can't see him being available for anything we could realistically offer.
