You know that Pageau just turned 27 right?!....
This is HFboards, where the average forward is considered to be in his prime at 20. JG might as well be collecting retirement right now.
You know that Pageau just turned 27 right?!....
I agree it was an overpay. No Monday morning quarterbacking.I am not saying Pageau was bad. I said a 1 and 2 was overpay and bad for rental Pageau. How is that a slam? For record I said same thing when Winnpeg traded 1 plus for Hayes, and Hayes is now a flyer.
Isles reportedly offered slightly less $ then Vegas. Even if the isles offered more,I gotta think between Vegas having no state income taxes and Vegas being Stone's top choice, the isles would have lost outStone actually did say on 31 thoughts that it was Vegas or bust for him. Whether that’s actually true, who knows. But he did say that’s the only team he wanted to do a sign and trade
Couturier is going to win Selke this year so its not just flyer fans saying he is elite defensively. Pageau is a very nice 3c and you can get away with at 2c. Did he overachieve in free agent year for the money? Maybe but doesn't mean he still isn't very good. But to give sens a 1 2 when send had to trade that day is poor asset management.
2 months is.6 years is a rental? Shit. I gotta tell my dog he's rented......
2 months is.
1) Pre deadline you had to decide if Islanders were going to win this an go for it or stay the course. Flyers too for that matter. I didn't want to overpay for the players going free agent in 2020. And pre deadline there was only 7-8 teams who I thought should overpay and go for it. They were STL, TB, BOS,COL,DAL, PITTS,WASH, and maybe Vegas because Pacific just stinks.I am happy Flyers only spent 4th and 5th round draft picks and didn't overpay.
2)You have to decide if Lou would Pageau have been available July 1? This is the big question.If Colorado would have made the move and resigned Pageau then the case can be made should you give up the 1 and 2. I don't I think I would but ok you can make the case. OK to disagree. If Pageau would have been there July 1 then it is an overpay for making a ONE YEAR RENTAL run this year. Pageau is not the difference this year between Caps and Islanders. And for record I don't think Pageau is difference between Flyers and Lightning/Bruins winner.
Agree 1000000%.I agree it was an overpay. No Monday morning quarterbacking.
I argued for months before the TDL,not to give up a first for Pags,that this group was not a serious SC contender with or without him.
I wanted him on the isles 3rd line,but not at that price.
This trade is the Hamonic trade in reverse. Isles are the ones overpaying for a good player.
Isles are 0-6 since the trade, I mean he looks like a solid player but I think Isles fans were under the impression he was a game changing player who was going to help drive the Islanders meager offense, and I think Pageau was under the impression Islanders were one of these up and coming teams who were going to be a mainstay in the playoffs for the duration of his contract, I am sure he is now getting the picture things look bleak on the Island and the future is even bleaker
Anyone who expected him to be a “game changer” needs to have their head examined. He’s a perfect third-line centerIsles are 0-6 since the trade, I mean he looks like a solid player but I think Isles fans were under the impression he was a game changing player who was going to help drive the Islanders meager offense, and I think Pageau was under the impression Islanders were one of these up and coming teams who were going to be a mainstay in the playoffs for the duration of his contract, I am sure he is now getting the picture things look bleak on the Island and the future is even bleaker
I might be speaking for just myself, but I didn't anticipate him fixing our scoring woes. I pictured him making the team deeper and harder to play against when we can roll Barzal-Nelson-Pageau-Cizikas. Something we haven't been able to do yet.Isles are 0-6 since the trade, I mean he looks like a solid player but I think Isles fans were under the impression he was a game changing player who was going to help drive the Islanders meager offense, and I think Pageau was under the impression Islanders were one of these up and coming teams who were going to be a mainstay in the playoffs for the duration of his contract, I am sure he is now getting the picture things look bleak on the Island and the future is even bleaker

based on the crowd reaction from his first game with the PAGEAU PAGEAU chants before he even skated a shift I assure you a good chunk of the crowd expected him to be the offensive play maker this team needed, maybe they looked at his stats saw 22 goals and got hyped up, you do not get that excited over a 3rd line centerAnyone who expected him to be a “game changer” needs to have their head examined.

no, no you are not...oh I assure you am THE well informed level-headed Islander fan
Not true.....Pulock has 3.The same or more than anyone else since he has got there......
I'd love it if someone would trade us a 30g scoring wing (or five). I'd ditch next year's first and a current roster player for that...
