Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[LeafGm]

Pageau’s a nice enough player, but at $5M for the next four years, all of which will take place during Pageau’s 30’s?

Hell to the fucking no.

 

[hockeylover]

I think it's an interesting idea but... I think I'm with LeafGM that I don't want Pageau til he's 34.

 

[axlsalinger]

that is definitely the main reason i'd be hesitant to do the deal.

 

[hockeylover]

but just to play along, would that look like...?

The 2 guys this board has been trying to jettison all summer long and Hockey Scissorhands?

Pageau's a real good two-way C. Numbers dropped off last year just like 100% of his teammates. I'm not saying I'd do this deal, just that it is kind of interesting.

It doesn't interest me. That 4 year commitment at $5M for a shrimpy 40 point player right now? No thanks.

I know everyone hates Kerfoot, but I would way rather have Kerfoot than Pageau. And then to add Holl, and worse, Engvall??? I mean, that's just insane.

Luckily it's just a made up thing and not an actual rumor.

A 5M deal to Pageau in his 30's that overlaps with resigning our star forwards & replacing Muzzin strikes me as a potential mistake that just isn't worth it.

Maybe this gritty midget ages better than other gritty midgets, but I'd rather not be the one on the hook for finding out.

 

[Wayward DP]

To TOR: Pageau (30, $5.0 x4yrs)
To NYI: Kerfoot ($3.5 x1yrs), Engvall ($2.0 x1yrs), Holl ($2.0 x1yrs)

why do the Leafs do that?

 

[Wayward DP]

What the hell, man. That would be awful.

The return that each of those three would get separately is worth more than what Pageau would get.

and that's ignoring Pageau's ugly contract and aging curve too

Hell to the fucking no.

yeah the contract alone is a disqualifier.

having a third liner making $5 m on the wrong side of thirty for near half a decade? no thanks.

isn't he already a declining gritty midget too?

Maybe.

Ezekiel dropping that nugget was a solid troll

 

[hockeylover]

lee til 35, bailey til 34, pageau til 34, palmieri til 33, cizikas til 34.

hope that turns out as badly as i think it will.

Ezekiel dropping that nugget was a solid troll

Zeke has long had a weakness for former sens & midgets with small hands

This checks a lot of boxes.

zeke has long had a big crush on Pageau though

isn't Uncle Leo still on the payroll too?

 

[hockeylover]

isn't Uncle Leo still on the payroll too?

think he got put on waivers and went back to the khl.

In any event he knew what kind of reaction he'd get

Now Zeke trolls himself. That’s how bad things have gotten here.

 

[leafman101]

I mean we just got Jarnkkrok for $2 mill a year and got to keep Kerfoot, Engvall and Holl.
