[Report] Oilers and Kings Close on Gagner Deal


Recommended Posts

Well, well, well. Sounds like it may be true.

EDIT:

Hearings talks have intensified over past few days between Edmonton and LA Kings over Sam Gagner... Whether it gets done or not, not sure...

Interesting tweets from @AJonSports regarding possible deal between LA and EDM involving Gagner and Clifford. Also hearing this possible.

It's complicated because of LA's cap issues -- EDM would have to retain salary? -- and LA may have to give up another piece. Stay tuned.

Well the Coilers have needed toughness and pkayers that dont get pushed around so easily.....

Getting Perron was a great first step, Hendricks helps and now if they get Clifford, they will have a few players that meet this criteria

Im assuming MacT insists on LA's 1st pick if its only Clifford coming back

Clifford, 1st is a great even trade for Gagner

@TSNBobMcKenzie: BTW, @mayorNHL reported earlier this week that LA was looking at sending Clifford and a draft pick to EDM for Gagner.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: To be clear, I can't assure you Clifford + a pick or prospect for Gagner + EDM retaining $ is guaranteed to happen but it's being discussed.

I think that's a misconception actually. What they've needed are better 200' players and leaders who can work with their young stars. Smyth and Ference have been the best adds in that regard (Gordon and Hendricks help somewhat too) but bringing in a bunch of bottom 6 grinders won't help fix the issues they have in the core.
