Kyle Palmieri could follow Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s Islanders path
NY Post
Whenever Lou Lamoriello has discussed the factors he considers when adding players to the Islanders, the reigning general manager of the year values “the right fit” over anything else.
We saw it with Jean-Gabriel Pageau at last season’s trade deadline, when the Islanders acquired the small-but-mighty center from the Senators in exchange for a haul of picks. Pageau then immediately signed a six-year, $30 million extension to remain with the Islanders through 2026. Lamoriello didn’t hesitate to commit to Pageau, who repeatedly expressed his insatiable desire to prove himself worthy of that display of faith in him. Fast forward 61 games, Pageau has given the Islanders tremendous depth down the middle, contributed in big games and made the third line productive despite a revolving door of wingers.
