This is the crazy overpayment of the day.
The conditional third, I think, is if the Islanders win the Cup. So that's nothing. The first rounder is lottery protected.
Still, compare with Compare with JT Miller....
Pageau is a rental. Similar profile to Dzingel who Ottawa moved at last year's deadline. Decent, not-too-big, not-too-intimidating two way forwards who are having an statistically inflated season based on usage the acquiring team will never deploy.
Of course, Ottawa made out pretty good on the Dzingel deal, too, because the reclamation project is panning out. No first rounder for that, though.
