I'd be okay with that
Then we have a hypothetical deal.
I mean for all the good our negotiating did for our teams as fans on a forum haha.
I'd be okay with that
But we can try and resign him in the offseason
I do agree with trying to re-sign him in the off season, however I just don't think Pageau's value is so low that we need to add a second pick just to get a late first round pick.
With DD didnt the Oilers actually go far in the POs ?Barf.
This is like Chia trading for DD (MTL) and Gryba. Just waste of picks.
What are you talking about? There are 4 teams currently in playoff position, and 4 more within 2 points, that have worse PK% than the Islanders. They are right at league average.JGP + 2nd for Islanders 1st.
Out of all teams in a playoff position, the islanders have the worst PK %.
Pageau excels on the PK.
Ottawa upgrades their 2nd to a 1st

Not giving up a first to rent Pags.JGP + 2nd for Islanders 1st.

Kinda surprised Pageau and Namestnikov allegedly aren't generating much interest. Both seem like the sort of reasonably priced middle-6 utility pieces that teams always love to add at the deadline. Maybe the asking prices are too high? Not willing enough to retain salary to make a deal fit?
The rest of the Sens deadline fodder...meh, i wouldn't be at all surprised to see limited interest and ultimately maybe a late round pick after teams strike out on other options on deadline day.
Ottawa went to 7 games in the conference finals in 2017
I actually agree. I don't think their GM is bad. It's just a lot of his moves are related to cost savings because of their owner. His goal is to rebuild while saving money and he has done a pretty good job at that. It sucks that saving money is part of the goal but it is what it is. I also think he did the right thing by selling off his stars. He made the gamble with Duchense which backfired but also realized that the team was a bubble team and would probably remain that way for the next few years. Instead of wasting 5 years of being a bubble team he sold them off for assets instead. It's what a team like Calgary for example should do. Or what the Wild should have done.Dumping on Ottawa/Dorion has become a fun thing to do. The following posts appear in almost every Ottawa - related thread...
1. Post that Duchene trade was awful, but ignore that Ottawa made the ECF the year prior, that Duchene was a PPG player in Ottawa, that they flipped him for a great return, and that it was a great move to sell high on Turris
2. Post that the Zibby/Brassard trade was awful, but ignore Brassard’s contribution to the playoff run, Zibby’s poor attitude/professionalism prior to the trade, and the fantastic trade return they got for Brassard
3. Post that Ottawa losing the 4OA pick was terrible management, and then go on to say that San Jose tanking is just bad luck
4. Post that Ottawa is the laughing stock of the league ... while ignoring that all of the best teams of the last 15 years were horrible in the years beforehand.

Lots of people were actually calling the demise of San Jose with Marleau gone. Thornton looking slow Af in the playoffs and then no cap space of pavelskiSan Jose had been a playoff team for four straight years, and a 100 point team for two straight. Ottawa made the playoffs with terrible underlying numbers, a negative goal differential, and career seasons for Anderson and Condon. It's not really the same situation. It's not all bad luck for San Jose, people knew age would catch up with them eventually, but no one guessed it would happen this quickly and severely. Ottawa, on the other hand, had plenty of people calling out the red flags.
I don’t think Dreger was referring to Pageau or even DeMelo for that matter. There’s been numerous reports that there is a good amount of interest around those two. It’s guys like Namestnikov, Ennis, Boedker, Hainsey, Boro and so on. It was a pretty vague comment considering the amount of FAs they do have.
Karlsson trade is a win now because San Jose SUCKS and the first was unprotected but at the time it looked to project as a late first and I would have considered the karlsson trade a missed opportunity
I just don't think much of Vlad as a player to think that was a win
Ottawa also went to the conference finals right before that deal so your take doesn't make much sense imo
I mean if our scouts have done their homework and this draft has as much talent as they say, I don’t see why not get that 3rd first and get a guy we really want.
Walking into the draft with 3 firsts would be phenomenal Even if we lost the slightest bit on the Pageau trade.
There are tons of red flags with San Jose too thoughThere were tons of red flags suggesting it was an unsustainable run. I know hindsight is 20/20 but this was a huge topic of conversation at the time as well.

Their star power is old and 3 of them are already done. Burns doesn't look like burns anymore either
