what do I have to do for Islanders fans to stop doing this

Being an Isles fan is incurable

my favourite part is that they’re not undervaluing him outside of the trade. in this, they immediately sign him to an 8x7 to be their long-term 2C. which means that somehow, the belief is that he is simultaneously a very good true top 6 centre, and also only worth a mid-late 1st, an overpaid bottom 6 C, a former late 2nd round pick who plays Ottawa’s biggest position of strength, and a bust

No. Sens hang up. Pinto for 2 1rsts, Dufour, a 2nd, plus a 1rst for Pageau's salary (since we're already cap-stripped).

Ottawa is not trading Pinto unless it's for an overpayment.

Ottawa is not interested in Pageau unless the Islanders retain half of his salary.

Ottawa declines.

Try again.
