I still don't understand why more people aren't questioning the Sam Gagner for a 6th round pick? This is beyond comprehension... We give a 2nd round pick for Linden Vey who will probably be a career AHLer... and the Yotes get a 6th overall pick basically for free? The guy is only 24 years old and quite talented, and may only need a change of scenery to get the spark going.
Sure he's overpaid but 1/3 of the contract is taken on by TB still.. so they got Gagner at 3.2mil cap hit... that's not even that bad.
What in the fickity fack? Gagne AND Crombeen for just a 6th, AND TB has to pay 1/3 Gagne's salary? That is quite possibly the worst trade I've ever heard. There has to be something more to that. Surely he could have gotten more for Gagne than that. He is a chronic underperformer but he still has SOME utility...
Ahh, remember the WCE and Cloutier days when all of Vancouver longed for a steady, bonafied #1 goaltender? We had two of them less than a year ago. Now we have none.
Welcome back to the goalie graveyard.
