The Ottawa Senators have traded their top scorer J. G. Pageau today to the New York Islanders for a ransom of NY’s 1st, 2nd round picks in the 2020 draft and a 3rd round pick in the 2021 draft. Criminal charges are pending in this heist of the year. Congratulations to Pageau who leaves the living, breathing, dumpster fire that is the Ottawa Senators organization. Instead, he will now join the boring as shit Islanders in their attempts to lull each of their opponents to sleep playing Barry Trotz’s version of the 1-2-2 trap.
Pageau has put up career numbers this year in Ottawa from receiving top playing minutes just in time for him to reach the open market in free agency. Personally, I cannot wait to see this guy get overpaid and handcuff some desperate organization for the next 5 years.
