Unless the Islanders can resign Pageau, this is an overpay. While Dorian is still not a great GM, he got a really good return for an impending UFA.

$5 million US for 6 years.

How do you feel now?

Isn’t Kreider a winger?

a 2nd and 3rd.
I mean really you have to consider where he's coming from.
OTT gets what would be role players on other teams to rack up points because there is no one else there to do it.
Someone has to net some points. So his numbers are inflated. Much like Dzingle was last year. He went to CBJ and didn't look close to the part then went to CAR and hasn't either.
You'd have a hard time convincing me he's even worth the 2nd and a 3rd at this point because he's a player of circumstance.
He goes on a good team, he's little more than a role player. Just go look at his history as a player. He hasn't really done anything worth that. His best year other than this year is 3 years ago at 19 goals other than that he's been basically nothing. I can't believe they gave him 5 million a year. Would you give a guy with that player history 5 million a year?
He's like a 12-15 goal scorer on a good team. That's not what you fork a ton over for.

Credit to Pierre Dorion. This is a great deal for Ottawa.

God damn I will miss Pageau, but if he was asking for 5x5 there was no way they could sign him.

NYI is getting a great player. He plays Barry Trotz Hockey, and he's a legend in the Playoffs. Great add. He plays Ovechkin super hard, so look out for that if they meet in the playoffs.

How Truer words have never been spoken.

I haven't been able to watch much of that series, but I remember Ovi absolutely hated that matchup. I remember one game Ovi took like 3 cross checking penalties because Pageau just stuck to him like they were attached at the hip. Completely neutralized him.

It's been so great to see the legend of Playoff Pageau grow, even if it's not with Ottawa. Dude is so unbelievably clutch, like a modern day Joel Ward.

I saw pageau a couple times vs the bruins when he was with the sens. He is incredibly underrated in the defensive zone. He added a scoring touch this year which might be a fluke but he is incredible at the gritty things that you want other teams to not have. backchecks well, forechecks well, can win faceoffs effectively and you can put him against anyone and he will be pretty effective in shutting them down.

If I was a GM of another team, I would have only offered a 2nd and a conditional 3rd that could have turned into another 2nd.


This is over the top.


Ottawa wins.

NYI get a top 6 Center and Ottawa gets nothing (so far). NYI win right now.

A 1st and a 2nd in a deep draft is nothing??


Then, why doesn't Montreal just trade away their firsts and seconds for future considerations?

It means nothing if you don't develop them into valuable NHL players. As of right now, Ottawa hasn't done that so NYI Win.

Alright then.



So, Columbus gets the 25th overall pick from the last draft and a 4th next year for Nick Foligno.

But Columbus isn't any better at developing prospects than Ottawa is.

And so, according to your logic, those picks are nothing.



This would mean that Toronto fleeced Columbus, not the other way around.



Were you one of those 15 people that voted for Toronto?

Or were you one of the hundreds of people that voted for Columbus?

Also, thank you for being a good boy and liking comment #40

You're not being honest.

At all.

Again there's context. I'm sure at this point you're trolling, I sure as hope you're not this dumb.

Nick Foligno scored a grand total of 5 points for Toronto before leaving for Boston. Toronto paid those picks for 11 NHL games and 5 NHL points. These situations are nowhere near similar.

I really hope you aren't actually this dumb.
