Not comparable at all. Pageau was 26, almost a full decade younger than Backlund would be at the next trade deadline. The Pageau trade also had conditions attached that saw it turn into a later 1st (26th) and a late 2nd (59th). Those picks turned into Ridley Greig (Ottawa) and Roni Hirvonen (Toronto).

The Jets have traded 1sts+ for both Stastny and Hayes.

Hayes is again not comparable. Was 26 years old and in his prime. Stastny is probably a little more comparable, but was 31 the first time the Jets acquired him and was still a consistent player. I would say the second time the Jets brought Stastny back is more comparable. The Golden Knights got Carl Dahlstrom (a 25 year old tweener depth defenseman) and a conditional 4th round pick (111th) that ended up with the Rangers and for Noah Laba.
I don't see any big payments happening for 35 year olds. Vegas got a "C' level prospect and a 4th round pick out of the deal, that they turned around and traded, which is a step down from a 2nd IMO.
