This was pretty much guaranteed with the price they paid.

[agulati]

Makes sense that they wanted to sign him. Way to cash in on a career year.

[Gundo]

If this comes in over $6-6.5 I’m gonna gag.

[btimbit]

Makes the steep price they paid make a lot more sense now that it's not just a rental

[Karl]

Wow is JGP ever making out like a bandit today.

$5,000,000 AAV

[Erick Estrada]

Not a fan of a $30 million contract for this player.

[agulati]

Overpaid by atleast 1 million IMHO.

[The Cobra]

That's 6 years and $5M more than I would pay.

[SportsJunky]

Career year. Doubt he'll ever hit 25 goals again. He's a good player but that's a lot of dough for a 3rd line C.

[Jacks]

I actually don't mind the deal, from what I've seen Pageau is a good 2 way player who plays all out.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

I think it's a fabulous deal. One year too long for me, but that AAV is going to be good value. This is a good player who moves the needle for a team. He contributes a lot all over the ice, not just offense.

I'm honestly surprised at the responses to this. Ottawa had a lot of junk, but Pageau was one nugget of gold tucked away in all that junk.

Now, that being said, I think their acquisition cost of two top picks is too high, but that's another story. This is a good deal.

[Erick Estrada]

I'm a believer in not overvaluing players on bad teams. They typically get more ice time than they would on a good team and they are playing from behind a lot and the pressure just isn't there to deal with game to game when every point counts.

What about players who play tough minutes on crap teams and stay +...

This guy does everything. He hits, he gets into scrums, he puts up moderate points, and plays a strong 2 way game.

Have we really got to the point where guys like this should be making $5 million a season though? He's Paul Byron right down to the stats.

[mister__big]

Isles overpaid by $0.5 to $1M on the AAV, but that’s to be expected given the picks they gave up for JGP. He’s a very good role-player no doubt, but most likely he’ll be a 35-40 point guy on the third line for the Isles who can move up to the top 6 in a pinch.

[Galakanokis]

I really like this player and think he will be good value on this deal. Decent skill but does a lot of things right on the ice. Would have loved to have had him on the Flames.
