\t\t\t\t\tIslanders GM Mathieu Darche laid out the cost for teams if they want to acquire Jean-Gabriel Pageau<\/a>, as teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs keep an eye on things.<\/p>\n With the Maple Leafs looking to add another forward to their ranks, they are going to look to the trade market and whatever leftover free agents are available (looking at you, Jack Roslovic).<\/p>\n Toronto keeping tabs on J-G Pageau after Pagnotta report<\/p>\n One name who got a lot of attention previously for Toronto is Jean-Gabriel Pageau, as he was bandied about in trade rumors<\/a> at the deadline with the Leafs electing to acquire Scott Laughton<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n Teams have been calling, were calling, closer to the draft; Darche’s message has been ‘sure you wanna blow me out of the water, I’ll do it now, otherwise I’ll hold on to him’.<\/p>\n Keeping Pageau<\/a>, who had 42 points in 79 games (14 goals, 28 assists) last season will be imperative for a team who is going to need him at his offensive best; along with Anders Lee<\/a>, Bo Horvat<\/a>, and Simon Holmstrom<\/a>.Plus, he could take over for John Tavares<\/a> in the 2C (he’s a career 54.4% winner, and had 59.6% this season) meanwhile he slides to the wing and gives him a bit less pressure overall.<\/p>\n How can Toronto bring in J-G Pageau?<\/p>\n But if the Maple Leafs wanted to bring in Pageau to give them a ton of flexibility and defense, then they should look to deal from their surplus.<\/p>\n A player on the cusp of making an NHL team, and faced with a logjam on the blueline, Villeneuve can help replace some of the offense lost on Dobson, and is solid enough defensively to warrant a spot (especially for a middling Islanders team).<\/p>\n Darche is clearly wanting to recoup as many assets as possible, and is going to squeeze as many pieces out of interested parties as he can.<\/p>\n The Maple Leafs have a few intriguing pieces, and if the Islanders want to change some of their DNA themselves:<\/p>\n They need to give Brad Treliving a call. I’m sure he’d love to add Pageau and change things up himself.<\/p>\n Previously on HockeyPatrol<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 4 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0152 ANSWERS<\/p>\n GM Reportedly Sets Bold Asking Price for $30 Million Forward as Leafs Monitor Situation<\/p>\n Do you think J-G Pageau would be a good or a bad fit for the Maple Leafs?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHOCKEYPATROL.COM
