I apparently disagree with my fellow Hawk fans here... I think Pageau fills a gap in the Hawks' roster this year while the kids continue to improve/mature. Given the retention, he's not be a huge expense. (Not that the Hawks need the retention.) A late 5th rounder ain't much to give up, especially considering all the picks the Hawks have this and future years.
Then, for year two of his contract, the Hawks have the choice to keep him, buy him out, or flip him (with their own retention added) for assets to a contender looking to fill out their own roster with a cheap, experienced, veteran center who still plays well defensively.
