11 pts from a predominately 4th line centre doesn't seem to be that bad, regardless if most of his pts are on the PP. He has certainly lost a step or two but he hangs in there in front of the net & is able to get some garbage goals. He seems decent at faceoffs & on a lot of nights is our best at it. He seems to be able to control the PP & doesn't make a lot of risky passes & it has translated in significant pts for him on the PP. While he isn't a fast skater any more he does play a decent two way game & is good defensively. His leadership, veteran experience & his ability to still put pts on the board is probably not appreciated on here because of his age but IMO he is helping the team win which should be all the matters. I don't see Pageau putting up numbers in the NHL like he does in the AHL, so I don't see him replacing Legwand anytime soon.
JGP is not replacing Legwand. JGP is our 3rd line center from now on. Legwand is our 4th.
