The New York Islanders are pushing more chips to the center of the table in the 2019-20 season. On Monday, team president Lou Lamoriello traded two draft picks and a conditional third-rounder to the Ottawa Senators for Jean-Gabriel Pageau per Darren Dreger of TSN.
The picks include a 2020 top-three protected first-rounder, 2020 second-round pick, and conditional third-rounder that only kicks in if the Isles win the Stanley Cup this year. If the 2020 first-round pick lands in the top three, it will become 2021 first instead.
Pageau, 27, brings 24 goals and 16 assists with him to Long Island which is solid production considering Ottawa’s freefall this season.
