Not sure a marginally better FOW% makes JGP a candidate for top line play.
Well, over the course of their short NHL careers Pageau has been 50 % and Lazar has been 47 % which maybe doesn't seem like a big difference but it actually is a good difference. The best faceoffs guys around the league are in the 55%-57% range and very few go above that. Pageau has been at 53 % this season and in those 15 games this season he's already taken more faceoffs than Lazar did in the NHL. Experience in the dot does make a big difference in possesion, not to mention the fact that Pageau is actually better which is the whole point of the discussion. JGP doesn't deserve to play top line but the discussion was between Lazar and Pageau, while Turris is injured, who derserves to play top line more IF you want to keep Zibanejad with Ryan on the 2nd line.

Det has not been a strong possession team this year, though that may be due to Datsyuk missing so much time.
I don't think that's technically correct (the best kind of correct).
Lazar has taken 288 faceoffs in the reg season (more if you count his 1 faceoff in the playoffs) and Pageau has taken 279 this year (in 17 games not 15). Now, if you were to change the word taken to won, and 15 to 17, you'd be right. Are you perhaps using only ES faceoffs? Or maybe hockeyreference numbers are wrong and I'm out to lunch.

If he's playing, he is fine. Why would they risk it with their #1 center?
Which former Team?????? Your batting 100Go Sens go!
I personally guarantee that Alfie's former team will win this game.
