[Rumour] News 1130: Canucks interested in Gagner, Jooris, Knight

If this is our Plan B... I say keep Burrows and pass on all of these guys. Any time Weisbrod's linked to a player I just cringe... if he played a big role in them signing with the Flames and now they're unwanted by the Flames (and Panthers, in Knight's case), doesn't that say something about them?

I'd take Gagner at league minimum maybe. But I bet he isn't asking for that.

That there is interest in Jooris is not surprising.  Weisbrod connection as stated.

Corban Knight has some local connections as well.

Could be nice depth pieces as AHL/NHL call-ups.

 

Gagner is intriguing.  Not too old, but can he play in a bottom 6 role if needed?  Possible scoring depth guy who can move up and down the lineup.  Also plays wing and center.

Ive always liked Jooris and I think he'd be an excellent 4th line centre here. Would not give you big points but would be a better fit on the 4th over a guy like Granlund.

 

Knight is an intriguing option as an AHL depth guy who could be called up later in the season because of injuries.

 

Not as sold on Gagner but he'd likely be cheap and sign a one year deal. 

 

Still... I'd rather grab Stempniak as a veteran role player.

LOL, Gagners career 8 point night would have matched or beaten 16 guys season totals that played for us last season! 

 

But seriously, if he'd sign for a million bucks I think he'd make a good pk specialist or perhaps a utility guy?  Otherwise I'm fine with going with the kids we already have.

Wiesbrod will probably sneak Feaster in with that crew.
