[2ndGenIslander]

https://nypost.com/2020/02/24/jean-...nders-from-senators-for-multiple-draft-picks/

The team has acquired center Jean-Gabriel Pageau from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a conditional first round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, the club’s second round pick in 2020 and a conditional third round pick in 2022.

Much needed scoring depth, good trade if he re-signs

Oof. That seems pricy at first blush.

 

[Le Grec]

I hate what we gave up. But I'd rather overpay for Pageau than someone like Kreider.

Seriously, Pageau seems like a great Trotz type player...

Torts?

 

[MYIslanders]

What’s the condition on the first RD pick?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Oof. That seems pricy at first blush.

It is.

But now we have a strong middle, puts guys in their right positions and we can roll 4 lines again.

Torts?

just flip the "o" and the "r" and he's got it right..lol

 

[2ndGenIslander]

What’s the condition on the first RD pick?

lottery protected, so if we somehow win the draft lottery this year and move to a top-3 pick, the first rounder gets pushed back to 2021.

2nd rounder this year is condition-less

3rd rounder this year if we win the stanley cup this year (totally worth it, if so)

 

[Axel574]

What’s the condition on the first RD pick?

I believe it's only top three protected so say goodbye to that pick... you gotta give to get but the team has no second round pick for the next two year and no 1st this year either. If they re-sign him at a reasonable price this is a good deal.

Main boards (lotta left fans) ripping the Islanders apart over this one. Personally I don't value 1st rd picks in the mid 20's too highly.

What a shock.

Isles could've got this guy for a 5th and the same thing would happen. Lotta Isles hate on the main boards for whatever reason. Always has been.

No surprise. Leaf fans are in a really bad mood right now and can you blame them.

 

[Langdon Alger]

You guys will love Pageau. Swiss Army knife kind of player. He is a great penalty killer and he will take a lot of defensive zone draws. He’s having a career year in terms of offence. Now, he may never hit these kind of numbers again, but he’s still going to give you some offence. 40-45 points a year I what I would expect on average. He’s great in the playoffs too.

One of the better third line centres in the game in my opinion. Great teammate too. Brady Tkachuk has talked about how great Pageau is in the dressing room. If he had stayed in Ottawa they may have given him the C.

Good luck.

 

[slurpee addict]

I'm happy with this. You gotta give to get, and this is a timely pick-up. If he re-signs then even better.

 

[MYIslanders]

Ya, at first I was surprised by the picks going out, but the more it settles the more I like it. Have to give to get, and hopefully he re-signs. I know some have lost faith, but I still trust Lou.

 

[Finnislander]

I like Pageau.
Good that we are extending him. But really scared about the numbers.. 5x5 would be good deal. Im afraid lou is gonna ink him to 6x6..

 

[Instant]

Ugh. I hope they're working on an extention with this guy, because paying this price for a rental is kinda crazy.

 

[PWJunior]

Ugh. I hope they're working on an extention with this guy, because paying this price for a rental is kinda crazy.

Reports are that it is imminent.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

If Lou gets Pageau signed too. This is a deal that is not only got me excited for the Isles, but man, what a steal. He fits in cap wise giving the Isles a 1-4 punch down the middle for years to come.

 

[Leafsforever89]

Almost done: Parise to Islanders to reunite with Lou.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Pageau is a even strength beast. He is +10 on a team with a -48 GF/GA differential.

He really fits in on a Trotz roll 4 lines approach to coaching.

Kills PIMS too.

Can't wait to see him with Brassard and maybe Beau.

Options are wide open with Pageau, or he could slide down with Bailey and Komarov.

Give me this line up in a 7 game series against anyone. We have a shot at winning. No fear here.

 

[crasherino]

Why would Pageau re-sign with us now? I'm sure the Islander lockerroom has a great reputation around the league - not a problem guy in there. I'm sure the lifestyle on LI also is spoken highly of around the league (or at least as being underrated) - great place to live if you have money.

But the guy is coming up on FA for the first time (probably only time) in his career. He just got traded to a foreign place that he's never spent any significant time to (unless he has an Aunt in Smithtown we don't know about). Why would he sign an extension now? Its confusing to say the least. He must have really wanted to get away from his hometown, I guess.

 

[TSA0402]

Sens fan happy he went to the Island. The price is a bit high, but there was much speculation he was going to Philadelphia all week. Can't say I blame Lou..

Glad he went to you guys. Cheers!
