An obvious target has presented itself in the form of Senators winger Alex DeBrincat, with reports out of Ottawa listing the Islanders among an interested group of teams for the restricted free age…
After checking the first box of the offseason by re-signing Ilya Sorokin, Scott Mayfield, Pierre Engvall and Semyon Varlamov to long-term extensions on Saturday, Lou Lamoriello made no secret of his desire to hit the trade market, calling it “the next step” for the Islanders., that is really the only step available for Lamoriello to make a major improvement to a roster that barely made the playoffs last season.
Mainly, he would help fill what is inarguably the biggest need on the roster: a top-six winger capable of scoring 30 goals a season and contributing to a power play that was nothing short of awful last season. Pageau’s $5 million salary would also be a significant chunk of the money the Islanders would need to move in order to afford DeBrincat, and moving a center makes sense for the Islanders, who wereTrading Pageau would allow Barzal to return to center and create a 1-2-3 combination at the position of Barzal, Horvat and Brock Nelson that would be one of the best in the league.
The entire situation with DeBrincat, whose agent Jeff Jackson has reportedly been given permission to speak with teams other than Ottawa, seems messy. So to afford DeBrincat, they would need to clear approximately the same amount of money they’d be paying him this season.Pageau is over half of that figure.
