With the center trade market quieter than expected, interest has surged in Islanders’ Jean-Gabriel Pageau, with at least three teams, including the Bruins, inquiring about him. Entering the final year of his contract at a $5MM cap hit, Pageau is coming off a strong season with 14 goals and 28 assists, alongside a career-best faceoff percentage of 59.6%. The Islanders, facing salary cap constraints and a list of restricted free agents, are likely to explore trading Pageau, who remains a viable middle-six option.
