Part of my thought process is trading 2 eastern US born players for a Western Canadian born player.
ActiveStick makes a good point that the Islanders blueline is in pretty good shape so not sure why they would move Barzal for a Dman. Likely would want another forward or more of a futures trade so they can free up room to sign Kadri.
Beauvillier should be movable for cap relief but I can’t see a team taking 32 year old Bailey with 2 years left at $5M each without a significant sweetener being attached because of the multi year commitment
