Love the guy. Can't say enough good things about him. Now that his Islanders tenure has ended, where does his legacy stand? I think he's an islandrrs hall of famer. Not quite a jersey to the rafters guy, but definately a great Islander and an awesome captain. I'd love to see him take a job in the organization when his playing days are over. Maybe as s scout or something like that. What do you guys think?
Who's with me?
A couple of caveats, 1 I don't think both guys would waive the necessary ntcs to do it. (Larkin full ntc/ Barzal m-ntc) 2 It probably wouldn't be 1 for 1. Some picks & prospects would have to go back and forth. But Barzal and a B Grade prospect for Dylan Larkin and a like a 3rd or 4th round pick seems fair, or it could be the basis of a deal for a similar player.
I get that there was no spot for him with the guys we have. But he was a good veteran presence/clubhouse culture kinda guy. That's really it. More of an appreciation post than anything else I guess.
