sometimes you gotta zig (sign middle-6/middle-pair guys to 7 year deals) when the rest of the league zags (not doing that).

overall though, his summer isn't as bad as some others have had. he signed Sorokin to arguably an under-market extension; he got rid of Josh Bailey for a 2nd rounder 3 drafts away; and the only guys he overextended were at least guys that have shown they can be successful with this team (Mayfield, Engvall, Varlamov.) I'd rather Lou have that type of summer than what he did last summer, when all he did was trade #13OA for Alex Romanov and sign a ton of Bridgeport Islanders (the only UFAs he brought in that got NHL ice time were Hudson Fasching, Nikita Soshnikov, and Dennis Cholowski.)

I think Hayes to JGP is apples to oranges. Pageau makes his money as a defensive-minded 3C who can score at a 40-45 point pace and plays all 3 phases competently. Hayes barely plays on the PK, loses more faceoffs than he wins, and has never appeared on a Selke ballot in his career. Pageau has also been a guy who has gone supernova in the playoffs before, and while he didn't do much this year, he's got a much better track record in the postseason than Hayes. Fair or not, this is all stuff that we know GMs tend to overvalue when they're comparing 2 guys.

For what it's worth, though, I think any JGP trade involves cap coming back - for instance, if the trade was with Vancouver, I think that it would probably be someone like Conor Garland or Brock Boeser coming back with picks and prospects on the margins to make the value equal.
