Seems like he really really wants to be an Islander which is always good to see. Can’t wait to see him play tomorrow
Always appreciate what fans say when a player is traded. Been reading this a lot from Sens fans today. Sens got some valuable draft capital, so it was a trade of value for value. From what I am reading from JGP, he sure sounds like a quality person.You guys just took our heart. Enjoy JGP, he's a beauty. The return that people are complaining about is nothing compared to what you received.
OuiYeah we have a play on the french theme. I have always been partial to poutine. Long Island Poutine?
I said about a month ago, that JGP is the real deal and brings a hell of a lot more to the table than his stats show. He is one of the best 2 way centers in the game, and as Isles fans come to know him they are going to fall in love with him. The best part about him? His CHARACTER. With the extension, the Isles come out on top in this trade.Always appreciate what fans say when a player is traded. Been reading this a lot from Sens fans today.

Was half expecting him to rock #11.
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.
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.
That's what you got from Bringing up a TDL trade 40 years ago for another deal for a Center was me comparing the 2 players? In what world?Comparing Pageau to a player whose name is going in the rafters in a few days.
Comparing the 2020 Islanders to the 1980 Islanders.
Thinking that Gross or Staple would see you post, much less write about it in any of their articles.
Yes...You should be "remised."
He has a song!!
I literally hope we create a song for every player on this team. Let's become like soccer fans and sing throughout the game. For Beauvillier we can sing one of Anna Kendrick's songs...
I think Isles should move him to second line Center and move Nelson back to Wing. Brassard to third line. That way Islanders get their money's worth and JC has an opportunity to be more of a scorer with better line mates.
I like the player and the trade but definitely feel this is an overpayment. Glad he was already signed to an extension.
Somebody beat you to it though....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.

Is JGP a Warrior?It’s gonna be a few games for me to get used to a isles #44 that isn’t freddy meyer
I think this puts us full circle, for a few years since we did not sign Frans Nielsen we have really had a vacancy at 3C and we now have exceeded Frans at his peak, this is the Goring-esque move I firmly believe...
