There has been some talk about Pageau being a candidate for the Selke... Thoughts?
Based on his high plus minus - for which he is a huge outlier on the team, as no one else on the Sens' roster even comes close to him - and his pace for a career year in scoring, he definitely could be a serious candidate for the Selke... provided his play rate doesn't falter too much. His goal scoring seems to have stalled a bit in the past few games, however he's mathematically on pace for around 40 goals at the moment, and even if his goal scoring drops by half for the remainder of the season he'd still finish with 30. If he keeps being out best forward on the PK and defensively in general like he has been, then I'd be surprised if he didn't at least finish among the top few in Selke votes.
But that said, it is a lot of "if's". 49 games left to go for him to either keep up his play, or to let his own stock fall.
As for the talk of trading him or not... I'd be sad to see him go, but I suppose that I'm in the camp of "depends what he'll sign for and what we could get for him". First round pick and a good prospect? Yeah, he's probably gone. No first/amazing prospect and he'll take less than $5M to stay? Probably keep him.
