Well, now that Benning has done one deal with Dubas, maybe he can mention how close Gagner is with Tavares and how he had the same pajamas.

Not sure what the exact status is though. Gagner...Interesting... from powerplay to no play in 48 hours... lol what a life. What a situation for the team. Won't be like this next year, I'm guessing. Next year there'll be more Gaudette type players (Lind, Dahlen, etc., all waiver exempt still I think.) Which means not so many "try outs" but development moves instead. Can't wait.

Add the newly acquired players to the online roster, but any call ups? Eh, when we get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krutovsdonut Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 if gagner is going down, they can't spin the demotion this time as being outplayed by the likes of goldobin. he's been adequate since the call up. if he goes down it is because he's not in their future plans, and because, even with retention they can't get anyone to bite on the guy. so i wonder if they are negotiating a mutually agreed buyout.

Not a buyout. If he wants to retire from the NHL he can go on unconditional waivers and the contract gets voided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think it's pretty crazy people are thinking Gagner is being sent down. He's been one of the better players since being back with the team and given the first go around I HIGHLY doubt they would do it to him again. He did get outplayed during the preseason but now not at all. If anything Schaller or Gaudette because of waiver ineligibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Gagner doesn't require waivers yet. If somebody wanted to trade for him they could immediately sent him to the minors, no waivers required.

Honestly, nothing against Gagner... he's been just playing the way he has for last couple years... nothing amazing. Sucks that he's making $3M and no other teams would bite on that salary for a mediocre player who pops in a few PP goals once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
