Kyle Palmieri could follow Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s Islanders path
NY Post
Whenever Lou Lamoriello has discussed the factors he considers when adding players to the Islanders, the reigning general manager of the year values “the right fit” over anything else.
We saw it with Jean-Gabriel Pageau at last season’s trade deadline, when the Islanders acquired the small-but-mighty center from the Senators in exchange for a haul of picks. Pageau then immediately signed a six-year, $30 million extension to remain with the Islanders through 2026. Lamoriello didn’t hesitate to commit to Pageau, who repeatedly expressed his insatiable desire to prove himself worthy of that display of faith in him. Fast forward 61 games, Pageau has given the Islanders tremendous depth down the middle, contributed in big games and made the third line productive despite a revolving door of wingers.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
