Often times you hear the phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none”. While I understand the thought process of the figure of speech, it comes off as belittling when talking about someone who genuinely has many strengths.
The personification of “Jack of all trades” for the New Yor Islanders is JG Pageau. Barry Trotz, and Lou Lamoriello too for that matter, love Pageau and it’s easy to see why.
