Pageau is such a lovable player on the Senators. Ever since his amazing performance against the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs two years ago, I haven’t seen a single Senators fan that doesn’t root really hard for him. I want him to succeed so bad, and this season he finally found his groove.
In 2015-16 he’ll have to prove that he can play without Erik Condra, and I think he can do it. The 3rd line centre role isn’t easy, but Pageau has the skills and the work ethic. If he progresses like everybody expects him to, then the Senators will be set at the centre position for years to come with Kyle Turris, Mika Zibanejad and Pageau.
