The potential retirement of Patrice Bergeron has made the Bruins interested in acquiring Jean-Gabriel Pageau, a reliable two-way center, creating a potential match for a DeBrusk-Pageau trade.
Additionally, this trade could pave the way for the Islanders to sign promising young forward Oliver Wahlstrom to a contract extension, ensuring long-term roster stability.
Islanders fans are optimistic that General Manager Lou Lamoriello can orchestrate a deal to strengthen the team's chances of success in the upcoming season, bolstering their offense and considering their salary cap plans.
