Default Hockey has been Barrie, Barrie good to me

Me and TheScorp pulled off a little beauty of a trade.

Isles get:
Cam Atkinson
2021 5th

Sabres get:
Tyson Barrie
Kevin Labanc

NYI get the highest rated player here. I think Atkinson bounces back this year and gets a nice rating next year. We didn't want to trade him.

As for Buffalo, we had quietly been looking for a PP1 quarterback. Barrie will be that guy working with Pastrnak and Pacioretty on the 1st unit.

Labanc has to turn it around (doesn't he?). For now, we get a young 67ov forward that hopefully pulls it together.

Thanks to a very tired NYI GM for getting this one across the finish line.

Man I'm so tired that I even got beat to the punch on the thread. Ah well.

Anyway I wanted to deal Barrie because I had no idea how bad his scoring rating was and that was the whole idea behind me getting him in the first place. But the sim does like guys with good reputations and Barrie was great in the sim last year so who knows.

I'm very familiar with Cam -- he was a star for me the year after Staal went beast-mode. Glad to have him back and on a line with Eric once more. Hopefully they can find magic once more.

That's not the only place where the NYI were beat to the punch...

The NYI made another questionable offseason move today, to round out an offseason that has left many fans in the Islander's fan base scratching their heads about the direction of the team.

For the second time this month the Islanders have re-acquired a player they traded away earlier this season, paying a premium to what they traded the player away for to start with earlier in the offseason.

On April 19th the NYI traded Cam Atkinson to Buffalo:

Atkinson (71 OV)

for

Eakin (65 OV)
Chiasson (65 OV)
$1M Cheese

Shortly after the NYI traded Chiasson and a 2021 5th back to Buffalo for a 2021 4th.

And then today the Islanders traded Tyson Barrie (67 OV) and promising youngster Kevin Lebanc (67 OV) in their attempts to reacquire Cam Atkinson again.

For the Islanders this gives them a top 6 forward that does improve their forward group, but it just raises the question of why the Islanders traded Atkinson away for such a poor return to start with.

For the Buffalo Sabres the frequent trades with the Islanders have paid dividends, as in the end Buffalo turned Cody Eakin, $1M cheese, and a 4th into Tyson Barrie (67 OV), Kevin Lebanc (67 OV), and a 5th.
