Goal scoring is the hardest thing to do in this league
Beauvillier and Ratay are going to outplay him now? yeah I highly doubt it. Maybe when he is 35 and they are younger if they are still in the league.

Was this you in the offseason agreeing that he was a 50 point guy who should sign for $6M? But now quesitoning that he's a 60 pt guy?

When he played for the Flames rival he was just okay, but now that he's traded by a Flames rival he's elite and they got a bad return.
Good player but riding a shooting percentage bender and is getting talked about like an elite first line center.
In the three years coming into this season Beauvillier and him had identical 5v5 production and power play production (when TOI was adjusted). Islanders sold Beauvillier at his absolute lowest, and bought on Horvat at his absolute highest.
Now it might work out for the Islanders. Barzal is an elite playmaker...and Horvat at least this season so far has been an elite finisher. So maybe they find chemistry and work together. But who knows how stoked Barzal is that his best friend was just traded, and now he's going to shift to wing to have to play with Horvat too.
Also I understand it's unlikely that Beauvillier outscores Horvat down the stretch...wouldnt be much of a bold prediction otherwise.
