Player Discussion: Jean-Gabriel Pageau

[albator71]

you would be too if you didn’t have to play for a Eugene Melnyk owned team.

Yes, uncle Eugene is a disaster. How the NHL is allowing this broke ass buffoon to have a franchise is a mystery wrapped a riddle to me.

Updated title as these threads tend to just turn into overall player discussion threads.

From Ottawa boards:

Now we just need to find a Potvin Bossy and Trottier.

 

[Lame Lambert]

It’s nice to get a real player at the deadline instead of man-bear-pig, Prince, or Davidson.

 

[Sparksrus3]

What’s the condition on the first RD pick?

The isles make the playoffs. Only the 2nd and third if we don't .
( not true )

You are Tater Smaht. Was Ryan Smyth the last real player we got at the deadline before today ?

I would be remised if I didn't mention this. In 1980, The Isles under Bill Torrey made a trade at the trade deadline for a 29 year old Center for Billy Harris and Dave Lewis.

His name was Butch Goring. A legendary trade. Probably the gold standard of all TDL deals. The Isles won the cup and the rest became history.

In 2020, 40 years later. The Isles under Lou Lamoriello made a similar trade at the deadilne for a 27 year old Center, JG Pageau and promptly signed him to a 6 year contract. This speaks volumes of Pageau wanting to be an Islander and his trust in Lou and Trotz and the franchise to win the ultimate goal.

Obviously the last part of Goring winning the Cup remains to be written for Pageau. But wouldn't it be something if history repeated itself.

If Gross or Staple read the Isles forum. You can take this post and run with it in your columns.

At the deadline, yeah. Midseason would be Vanek though.

Yes, I am stoked for the Isles, Isles fans, as a new Isles follower. This is a great deal. Now it just has to translate into the on ice product.

For me, I would love to see a JGP, Brassard, Beauvillier line to start off. Something about these 3 players makes it seem just right.

We feel you. We've been through decades of similar shit. Hopefully things get better quickly for you guys.

Is that 'something' the fact they all speak French?

Of all the JGP quotes today. I like this one the most. Notice the word 'honor'.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

This guy was meant to be an Islander

I find it funny that it's in quotes. Just kind of reads sarcastic. Like, it was an 'honor' watching Mike Milbury run this team.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

It's already been said by a few Sens fans here, but you guys got a gem in Pageau. One of my all time favourite Sens players. He probably will not continue the offensive output that he's had this year, but he'll never take a shift off and will always be shutting down the opponent's #1 line.

I was really hoping he'd re-sign with us, regardless of the price. I know we got good value for him but it really doesn't make it easier to accept that he's not coming back.

You're going to love him and he's going to fit your system really well.

We'll call it the Baguette line.

Yeah we have a play on the french theme. I have always been partial to poutine. Long Island Poutine?

 

[Frenchy]

JGP will be a great fit for the NYI , he's a player who always plays at 100% all the time and find a way to shift into an extra gear come playoffs time . He's gonna be wort every penny of his contract.

extra bacon on top ?

Brassard-Pageau-Beauvillier, the new french connection.

Yeah that's another good one. But I am starting to get hungry for Poutine. Ala Pageau, Beauvillier and Brassard. This is great though we are having a great time with this acquisition today. Tomorrow it will be all business. Need a W.

At the end of the day, W’s are all that matter. Those fries look delicious and now I’m going to find some food.
