Well, Ottawa has traded Pageau and extracted quite the price in doing so. Apparently the Flyers were on on him as well, but not willing to trade this much to get him.

Word is Isles about to sign Pageau for 6 yrs 4.825 per
HE IS RE-SIGNING LONG TERM WITH US!!! Good trade for both sides.
The imagery of Dorion and Melnyk drafting everyone was great lol
So for my edification, what does it mean top 3 protected?
Just curious is Ottawa's 1st round pick from San Jose protected?
Finally, Jean Gabriel Pageau will get to play with a real NHL team and be coached by a real NHL Coach. None of that Minor league bull in Ottawa.
Unless isles resign him that's a bad deal
Or if win the cup but they dont win a cup
Exactly what the Islanders needed
The Sens top prospects won’t need to wear name tags. They will just need to submit a list of teams that they would like to be traded to, for when Melnyk can’t afford to resign them!
Pageau could thrive under Trotz, Lou gotta sell his stuff
The Isles had a glaring need and took care of it. They already have young prospects like Bellows, Dobson, Wahlstrom, Wilde ect. This is no time to horde picks that may get to the NHL in 3 years. The team is in win now mode and Lou stepped up to the plate. Good deal for both sides.
Isles will resign him tho
Ottawa is likely having 2 top 5 picks cause Sharks are terrible and so are they and now you add a mid pick in 1st round of course this a massive win for Ottawa
This is surprising, Pageau was special for the Sens. It is true he is going to probably be too old by the time this team hits its prime so I get it, but I wonder what he was asking for when negotiating with PD
Let’s goooo…
(I heard he’s signing an extension)
9 picks in the first 3 rounds combined that's crazy and good luck Pageau with the Islanders.
islanders fleeced
I know that the Islanders needed scoring help and all but don't anybody think that they gave up a lot of draft picks to get Pageau
all i see is that Ottawa got more bags of pucks.
Pageau signs with the Isles and they win the trade
Love the Melnyk impression during draft Day. Also my friend had acquired 30 first round picks in nhl 20 and crashed the game lol
Well I was surprised to wake up to this. Not sure how I feel really. Would have been nicer a month or two ago when he was scoring a lot but I dunno if this move is going to really add that scoring now. Doesn’t feel like enough. Guess we’ll see.
"Whoever you'd like Peter" sips martini
This killed me
Islanders are very defensive team and such a offensive player as JGP is definitly someone they need and they need him right now. I know they payed a lot but the prospect player wouldn’t give them any guarantee of success. They just need to fill a missing piece.
You think the first overall could be traded for a 1rst and 2nd? I was thinking a LOT more than that.
Sorry NOT a rental!!!
Three first round picks in a pretty deep draft. All I'm saying is that Ottawa's scouting BETTER DELIVER and management's continual incompetence BETTER NOT fudge this bounty of opportunity up.
I would've preferred Pager being named captain for next season and re-upped, but I can't complain with the return.
signed 6 years $5M a year
I withdraw everything I've said about the Sens.
Good guy but he's not worth 5 million lol
I am going to say something different here. It is possible that Ottawa won this trade. But I do not think GM's look at it like that. If you look at it like that you could build a CORSI team like Toronto. And they may not make the playoffs. What I think matters if it fits your team and helps you more than it hurts. Definitely hurts the Islanders not having a first an a second. But Pageau is not a rental. Also besides chipping in goals he is good on faceoffs and the PK. Which they definitely need. Now they have 4 really solid centers. No superstars there (Barzal is not a superstar yet). But you roll out 4 centers like Barzal, Nelson, Pageau and Cizikas that is good.
Pageau sings with the Islanders for a six year deal.
I agree
And with the other one to I agree with your thoughts
I'm so happy! Great return, hope I can go to the draft.
Thanks for the video bud! Go Sens Go
Lou lost.
Good move good contract.
Alexis Lafreniere can start looking for a nice apartment in Ottawa.
Problem, the sens have traded away their next season, and the season after. Moreover, they've also traded away asses in the seats.
Just getting this update now 29 Feb…..great job youtube!
Quick question: Can the Isles get the first draft pick due to the draw? And if so, does it go to Ottawa if that happens?
Up date, 8/29/20…As an Islander fan, and finally got to see Pageau play, I think the islanders stole this one…That guy is unbelievable !!!! Plus we signed him for 6 years..proud of management for this one !!!!
How’s the Pageau trade looking now? 🙂
Video update
When he re thinks bout who wins cuz now isles won this deal pageau did terrific in the playoffs
Ny is so lucky covid was a thing
A year later and pageau was worth every penny
