CanuckinEdm Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 we need to pickup Gagner so he can play against Kassian when we play the oilers next... Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 gagner has offensive skill set. almost a .6ppg player. could easily slot in our 2nd pp unit, but i dont see benning putting a claim in. Not like he havent been shutout a bunch of times in the last month or anything. Not like we are in need of any kind of secondary scoring or a spark oh no not at all....... is dave gagner still a part of this team in some capacity?

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Gagner carries a $3.2 million cap hit, and that's after the 1/3 salary retention still being paid by Tampa Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 we have cap space for him with all our injuries, plus lets move out some older guys already they are doing NOTHING for us....waive them if you have to. Higgins, prust can go easily, vrbata should get a ok return, look at moving burr if a team will take on all or most of his contract. Gagner is 26, basically at the age where we have nobody due to our poor drafting and tradiing of picks. Sutter is the same age. Gagner can also play on the wing once we are fully healthy.

Monty Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If Winnipeg (foolishly) believe they can still get that last wildcard spot, then they should put in a claim for Gagner. With Scheifele out for who knows how long, he's not a huge gamble. They have the cap room, and he's a UFA at the end of the season, so he won't mess up their plans to sign Trouba and Scheifele as RFAs. Now, if Chevy believes that the Jets are too far gone to make up ground on the rest of the Central teams, then he should definitely pass and go for a top 5 pick.

Guest Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Shocking to see how Gagner has fallen these last few years; no question, he'll get picked up by someone. He's the only active player with an 8pt game after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I would put in a claim, then send down McCann. The team is going nowhere fast this season. I mean...we don't want him to turn into Sam Gagner after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 low risk no contract at end of year. could help a team lacking secondary scoring and like any waiver wire player if he doesnt pan out back on waivers he goes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhglennie Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Can either of them make a good pass the get out of our end without turning over the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Id rather have him than a few players currently on our roster. And he's still 26. He had 41 points last season which is decent 2nd line numbers. And we can afford his cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 According to the site posted below, Gagner hasn't played for over a month as a result of a concussion which tells me that he is not ready to step into the NHL and play right away. I like the guy but Edmonton ruined his development by rushing him to the pros when he didn't have the physical strength and mature supporting cast. This is a definite pass. http://www2.dailyfaceoff.com/news/waiver/ The Flyers have placed Sam Gagner on waivers. Gagner has been out since November 23rd with a concussion and is now on waivers. If Gagner goes unclaimed, he will likely head to the AHL. The 2007 sixth overall pick’s NHL career could be in danger of coming to an end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like Gagne hadn't scored a point in 10 games. Not like he isn't exceedingly weak in the faceoff circle - as in 31.3% weak. Real weak. Not like he hasn't been facing the weakest quality of competition on the Flyers - and producing nothing. Not like he's not a soft, underproductive, overpaid asset - just what this team needs! But I don't see Benning putting in a claim. So much short term thinking around here. That contract will not only get in the way of one of the returning injured players, but could also get in the way of a worthwhile acquisition this team could make. Taking on that cap hit is not a no-risk situation - it can be a roadblock to acquiring another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 it is short term thinking... he isnt lecavalier strapped to a $&!#ty contract for years beyond this season. He can play wing and nobody is doing well in philly... he is by far a younger better option than higgins and he is in his mid 20's not aging and slow like prust, burrows higgins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
