If Pageau is available, he is a guy that could be really useful for Calgary and wouldn't be as expensive as guys like Hoffman or Pacioretty.
Pageau is a RHS C, who can play the wing. He would be really nice insurance if a a center goes down during the stretch run. He would bring a little more skill to the 3rd line than Hathway. He is signed for 2 more seasons after this at $3.1m, so if Backlund becomes too expensive to bring back after this season we would have Pageau as insurance. He also played really well for Ottawa in the playoffs last year. He is also good on the PK. It would also be nice to have a RHS to take faceoffs when needed.
IMO Pageau checks a lot of boxes for this team.
