Value of: J.G. Pageau

[TheMadHatTrick]

What about it, Isles fans? Would he even be available, and at what cost?

My guess is if Islanders can make a big UFA signing he will be the guy they dump. Probably for like a future 2nd rounder(doesn't have to be 2026). My guess he would be more likely to be traded July 2nd rather than at or before the draft

As it stands now I slot him as Islanders 2nd line center with Horvat and Barzal playing together, Ritchie being weened in as a 3rd line center. If we can sign a big name we split up Horvat and Barzal

 

[miscs75]

If he’s moved it’s without retention (or a useless player contract wise coming back) at all and will probably be at the deadline if retention comes into play at all.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

What they said, either a future 2nd at the draft or a 1st at the deadline (because GM's get stupid on trade deadline day)

 

[seafoam]

As long as he’s not on your no trade list, an asset will do.

So, no.

Islanders have never made a big UFA signing. Ever. You know that.

I will give you Laine for him ....both have 1 year left.....Laine would instantly help the Isles 31st best pp.

 

[Canovin]

I don't understand why Islanders can't retain Pageau even at the start of the season? Aren't you guys retooling?

80% retention on Laine and it’s a deal.

 

[Gliff]

I would do 2025 2nd for no retention.

To retain and get back a contract is just stupidity on the Islanders part. They’re not a dumping grounds for other teams garbage.
If a team wants retention, the price goes up in terms of the quality of the pick. Personally no interest to retain 50% and get back a 3rd and 5th for him.

Teams that are retooling and rebuilding are dumping grounds. Take the best picks and prospects you can get. Aim for the playoffs in 2-3 years time

Yeah, not interested in retaining half & taking on a contract with a larger cap hit (and in some instances term) just to get a couple of 3rds because Edmonton wants a player.

Essentially if Pageau is a $5m cap hit and the Isles retain 50% plus take on another $4m cap hit in return the trade has to be worth it for the cap addition and a couple of mid round picks really aren’t worth it in the Islanders case.

Silly question . . . what team are you representing?

His posts seem to be from the Toronto Tavares’

Okay, so I can check their Puckpedia . . .

Maybe they want Pelech too?

Hmmm,

Pageau with 50% retained
Pelech

for

Jarnkrok
Victor Johansson
Reaves (we'll bury him or buyout)
2026 5th
2027 6th

If they only want Pageau, it would be Johansson and the 2026 5th with $2 million retained

I'd rather just keep Laine. Healthy over a whole season he can probably manage 30 goals with his eyes closed.

Pageau would be a good replacement for Dvorak with the Habs.

No deal. You didn’t include generational prospect Nick Robertson.

You're right. I should have asked for Mats Sundin too.

@Chapin Landvogt - what do you think of my asking for Johansson? That's down your alley.
