@IslesDen Absolutley no way does DeBoer take this job knowing Barzal isn’t part of the equation. I think it’s all talk and innuendo! Darche listening to offers doesn’t mean he’s pulling the trigger. Good summer talk but I think that’s all it is. #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@rcarnold1 @philzfactz Exactly. I makes sense. Detroit gets a 1st plus Holmstrom and we get Larkin to ride with Schaef, Barzy and Bo. I love it.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@philzfactz But if Larkin wants out and everyone else knows it that puts Detroit in a bad position. They’ll never get what they are going to ask. Lou always said once a player wants out he does what he can to get rid of said player.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@philzfactz Holmstrom, 2026 1st and a prospect???? I think that’s fair. May have to find a 3rd team to dump a player or 2

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@philzfactz I really hope they are able to keep Lee. I knows he’s older but he’d be pretty damn good on a 3rd line with PP time. Why doesn’t Darche just buy out Palat. It’s so frustrating! #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

Still think that Lee is coming back to the team on a team friendly 2 year deal despite this Lebrun reporting. He has always preached loyalty especially when Tavares left. I trust in his loyalty. He’ll be back. If not we ride on. #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@datadomNY If we are not rebuilding, then these are fair tiers. Although id personally put Sorokin and Bo in with Schaefer, Barzal and Eklund. #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@Ajsoti This type of leaking Never happened under Lou. The #louwon crowd adds another point in the win column #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@IslesDen @ian_10_19 Good point here. Lebrun is always locked in to all of GMs. If this Barzal rumor had any legs whatsoever I beleive he would’ve reported on it. Besides DeBoer said he loves Barzy at Center. Why are we even entertaining this. I’m just as bad because i said Brady for Barzy lol

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@AndyGraz_19 @philzfactz Brady Tkchuck for Barzal straight up. Who says no? #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@IslesDen @NHL_Muse Why not. I mean they should’ve made this year and Pitt is a year older. At some point they have to regress like Washington and Instill believe the #isles are better than Philly. I’d worry about the Devils more than these two teams.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@philzfactz Im shocked you would trade for him. I know he’s played well with Horvat but that contract is long and AAV is quite high. I���m not concerned about the players we are giving up, I’m concerned with his contract and performance. Not sure he’s worth the risk. #isles

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@Ajsoti @bonchieredstate What’s crazy is they went into this war knowing this and then theu decide it’s a good idea to assassinate every potential negotiator. So how could they even know they if they’d negotiate in good faith without giving them a chance to get to the able.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@Ajsoti @Brandon266946 I think it’s more up to DeBoer than Darche. Maybe DeBoer’s defensive scheme is more zone than man to man, Like Trotz’s.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@AndyGraz_19 Well you’ve ran out of cookies and cannolis! I guess the next step is cream puffs? Most these insiders are cream puffs anyways. 🤣 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@Ajsoti He’s the comparable to the upside on Aitcheson

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@IslesFix Hearing the Devils are interested in trading for Palat for a 2026 2nd round pick.

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@incarceratedbob @TSN_Sports Is he the prominent NHL Canadian player you were referring to a couple of months ago who was asking about playing with Schaefer?

[Dan Malaniak @DMals74]

@IslesCave This is what I’ve been hoping for since the #isles have been eliminated. I’d think his day with echo might be back on LI. That’d be cool.
