Rumor: Bruins interested in J.G. Pageau

[SI90]

This guy is the absolute perfect #3 Center. I’ve wanted him on the islanders for awhile.

 

[Drew311]

Didn't Dorion just mention he doesn't like trading players in division? Will likely require an overpayment.

 

[Korpse]

So the sens are trading EVERYBODY

This right here explains why social media is terrible.

Unless its a 6th rounder

I think I would rather just put Backes at 3rd line Center until JFK or Frederic is ready to fill that spot.

Just sign Kovalchuk and you have three dangerous lines.

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Kovalchuk-Krejci-Heinen
Debrusk-Backes-Bjork

 

[Wo Yorfat]

So Pageau to a Western team for garbage, then off to Boston for a 2nd.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Wish the sabres would be in on him. I do like his game.

Please take him

FFS, the Last thing the Bruins need is another small forward.

This isn’t basketball.

It's not bowling either.

Why don't they just re-sign Nash? He was pretty good last year, they were not the same team in playoffs after he went donw

Pageau is better than Nash. They are trying to get better would be my guess if this is true.

Nash had a career year and now he is going to be looking for a big raise and who can blame him? He's probably looking at the same kind of money as Pageau and who knows how much he can get as an UFA.

You going to have to give up a good asset to get Pageau also. I would stay with Nash, as money should be same or less

The Bruins have plenty of prospects and I think if Ottawa is looking for prospects there could be a deal. I can't figure out the Senators so I'm not going to try, I'll just watch and see what happens.

Agreed. If they wanted an undersized centre who avoids contact like everyone on the ice has cooties they could have just kept Spooner.

Nash earned some term the Bruins can't give. Someone will. I am sure at this point in his career term would be nice. JP's term lines up nicely. But, don't see how it makes sense with Backes still on the roster. JP playing #3C but being able to move over to RW if/when JFK/Frederic/Donato take that spot makes sense, but then where does Backes go. I reckon JP could move to 4th line, but thats a lot of money in bottom 6.

 

[LeProspector]

Pageau and a 2021 4th for Bruins 2022 5th.

Sweeneys guys fit two molds, either small or ancient and beat up.

 

[BruinDust]

Problem with Nash isn't so much AAV but term. He'll likely garner a 3-4 year deal from a team as a UFA, whereas Pageau is signed for 2 more years.

And Pageau is a better offensive player. Last year the 3rd line of Heinen-Nash-Backes was good for a stretch, but also went very cold for awhile.

 

[ffh]

I'm sure every other team in NHL has same interestin him but didn't run to their twitter a count to state the obvious.

 

[Korpse]

Are you referring to Jean-Gabriel Pageau as "undersized centre who avoids contact"?

 

[Son of Donegal]

Carlo, McAvoy, Zboril, Vaakanainen, Studnicka, Pare, Bukac, Koopanen, Frederic, Clarke, Senyshyn, JFK, Lauzon, Vladar, Swayman, etc... All Sweeney draft picks...all 6'+.

Come on.

 

[easton117]

I have seen Pageau make contact on the ice with someone before. So in that he’s ahead of Spooner. He is however absolutely undersized and not what the Bruins need to be adding to a forward group already bereft of guys who can have a physical effect on a game.

Especially in the playoffs.
