not sure why the Sens do this? Spoons would die a slow death under Boucher`s system and Pageau is the kind of player who is fit for that system and I think his salary is in the 3 mill range so reasonable cost control
While I'm a big fan of Reilly Nash and everything he does I still think the Bruins would be best to look for a 3rd line centre with more of a scoring upside which would slide Nash to 4th line centre. I would love for Sweeney to go after JG Pageau.
He's a very good 200 foot player, 53% at the dot and has more scoring potential than Nash.
Spooner + 3rd (I'd go 2nd if that is the deal breaker)
for
Pageau
Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
DeBrusk-Krejci-Bjork/Cehlarik
Heinen-Pageau-Backes
Kuraly-Nash-Acciari
Schaller
hmmmm Landeskog has 16 goals. Wonder if Aho could be had?
This is the type of deal I'd be for. However, you're blocking JFK next year, if he proves to be ready. JP Pageau has 2 years left after this one.
TSN did a breakdown of needs in the east, suggest the B's should target Ian Cole - sorry if this has already been posted, you can read here
Well, in fairness - they didn't speculate on what would it would take to get him...it's been widely reported that the Pens were shopping him.why would Pittsburgh do that?
Is Ian Cole better than any of the defenseman on our roster?

I'm not convinced that Pageau is better than Nash. Also, playing 3 million for the next three seasons for a player of that caliber is a pretty risky investment (cough Chris Kelly).
Nash to the 4th breaks up the identity of the 4th line and has a negative impact, imo. That line is all about tenacity. The Tenacious Three - a rather perfect 4th line.

Pageau is a better player than Nash.
Nash's contract with just this year remaining vs. this year + 2 more, is better than Pageau's.
I'll go with Nash.
Ideally Nash is a better fit for a 4th line.
Just not sure he's a good fit for Boston's 4th line as currently constructed.
paul martin just went on waviers... but theres a problem with his cap hit. I think he is an upgrade over mcquaid or postma for our 7th dman but we would need to trade mcquaid to have any chance of fitting the cap hit.
I guess id be very surprised if this happens. I think someone will claim martin though. but seeing him on waivers does show us how difficult it is to move a salary
