Barzal + Eberle
We might have to work Ryan or Hanifin into another trade.
The only other possibility I can think of is something around Gaudreau+Lucic+pick for Barzal and Ladd. Ladd has a worse contract than Lucic.

I suggested this same trade a few pages ago. While i think it would be the huge shakeup many of us fans were hoping for I don’t see the Islanders doing it. My only thoughts are Lou is very old and set in his ways he could see this as a buy low option on Gaudreau/Monahan and bank that they will get back to being ppg and 30+ goal threats right away.
The deal makes sense for Calgary by adding 2 right hand shots and landing their coveted franchise center hoping that Barzal can improve his 200ft game and expand on his impressive offensive output so far.
Eberle gets to come home and adds a nice element in the top 9 and powerplay.
