Wow. Had to do a double take on this one.
8 points in 11 games. Quietly having a good season after just 1 assist in first 6 games.

I think Pageau certainly turned some heads in the playoffs. He's becoming more and more recognized around the league.
Ever since Turris went down that one year, he basically made Zibanejad expendable.
Pretty sure it was Dorion who was most excited about him after that draft.I always remembered the late Brian Murray positively glowing about the potential of Pageau when he was drafted. Good one Bryan!
He's a pretty elite third line center. Kills PK's. Can play on the PP. Can be deployed as a shut down center against the other teams top line and is good for at least 30 - 40 points.
Can't really complain. Happy to see him getting some recognition.
While it is a small sample size, Didomenico has 5 points in the last 3 games.I like his style of play and hope Boucher gives him some wingers who have some offensive ability, such as Hoffman, Stone and Ryan. I think Pageau could be almost as good as Brassard and Turris if given those guys as wingers. Perhaps even better.
This team really needs another top 6 player to replace MacArthur as Turris, Brassard, Ryan, Stone and Hoffman only adds up to five. Smith and Dzingle are third liners while Pyatt, Thompson and Burrows are fourth liners.
It would be great if White or Didomenico could generate some offensive chances and goals soon.
