Jean-Gabriel Pageau has always been a very steady and reliable hockey player. While never touted as an offensive dynamo, he plays hard and competes night in and night out. Pageau was a product of the QMJHL and spent three seasons between Gatineau and Chicoutimi before being drafted by his hometown Ottawa Senators in the fourth [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. Here we are, just weeks away from the fantasy playoff season. This means that you are likely spending the weekend tinkering with your rosters and sifting through the market to sell your soul and go for a deep run.
