Yeah something is definitely weird with the team these days... can’t really pinpoint it... Maybe Boeser, Sutter, Bärtschi, Edler, Nilsson (returning) and Beagle being injured has something to do with it. Dunno though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is on pace for 50 points in the remaining 60 games, he'll be back next season on EP's wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Im ok with this move. There were rumblings after his demotion that he didn't take it well. Some articles had also surfaced regarding him not knowing why he was waived and there was an undertone that he was a disgruntled player. I am totally ok with him coming, i just hope he isn't disruptive when he is here and leads by good example like a seasoned pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The only reason Gagner is being recalled, is because the depth that surpassed him in the pre-season have all slid lower than him on the depth charts. That's it. No clever waiver games, no impending trades that we know of at least. Leipsic the tiny, tiny busy bee, Gaunce the stone handed , and either hits the post or misses the net Goldobin, all are on the bubble. Again. Where they rightly deserve to be. Something has to give. And Gagner coming back is I guess what management believes what they either need to pick up their play, or be waived themselves. Even Schaller might be on the bubble. First line minutes and he has been pretty much invisible. And even Roussel, who I like parts of his game, has been extremely lack luster in terms of his scoring game. Our "depth" has proven shallow. So now we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Good idea. Our PP is struggling offense is struggling we don't have enough top 6 players Gagner needed to be called up. He'll be much better than schaller on horvats line. And he will likely help on PP as well. I'm glad JB wasn't stubborn . He made the right decision.

I find it admirable that he's still trying to keep his job while in the AHL. This is my Favorite post! I was a fan when we first signed Gagne. But then I couldn't believe my eyes watching his slack work ethic he brought with him. He is a serious talent and just never put the effort in. Going down to the Marlies and putting up 15 points couldn't hurt. Then watching our pp1 with Pouliot and Goldy enter the zone and then lose the puck with very low percentage passes( I was like Gagne would be better ). Maybe with some elbow grease and some effort we will see the Gagne that has talent put the hard hat and work boots on! He could be a fit with Pettersson. Hard to imagine him scoring less than Goldy and Erickson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I still actually like Gagner. Hope he has a burn in his saddle, and comes back with a vengeance in this league to show he still has what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ppl have written him off and think he's done when his contract expires. This is his chance to earn a 1m deal on some team in the NHL as a utility depth forward.
