Sometimes miracles
Didn't see a thread, glad he's getting a look and I hope he helps
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him retire in the next few weeks. I don't even think Bakersfield is an option anymore for him.Hopefully Gagner informs the rest of the NHL that he expects the Jason Spezza treatment - I signed to play my final season with the Oilers (and Bakersfield when necessary for roster/cap purposes). If anyone else tries to claim me off waivers, I'll retire immediately.
Lol. That won't be necessary.Hopefully Gagner informs the rest of the NHL that he expects the Jason Spezza treatment - I signed to play my final season with the Oilers (and Bakersfield when necessary for roster/cap purposes). If anyone else tries to claim me off waivers, I'll retire immediately.
He’s played 3 games in Bakersfield and has 5 points. Seems to be doing okay there.I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him retire in the next few weeks. I don't even think Bakersfield is an option anymore for him.
He's given it his one last crack and if he can't cut it I'd be shocked if he doesn't retire.
Alex Giroux use to put up 100 point seasons in the AHL, but come NHL he couldn't do shit.He’s played 3 games in Bakersfield and has 5 points. Seems to be doing okay there.
How is Alex Giroux a comparable? Gagner has played 130 NHL games in the last two seasons.Alex Giroux use to put up 100 point seasons in the AHL, but come NHL he couldn't do shit.
Gagner has good hockey IQ and vision that can definitely light up the AHL for awhile yet.
I like what he can potentially bring to this roster, but we shall see if he can do it at NHL level.
This. Welcome back Gagner. For sure hes lost a step but anticipates better and 200ft player and can even pk now. Gagner is a feel good player and important to have guys like that in the room.I like him vastly more than the majority of guys we have brought in for the bottom part of the roster.
Can still provide a bit of offense, he learned how to play a lot better D over the years and even penalty kill and he is still a high character guy.
He was good the last time he was here for being included in a trade.
This is true but that bar is low. I feel like Gagner will be the next one to have to be replaced. He hasn't looked good for a while now.Better than Erne.
Fair, but Joe he's been consistently at the NHL level for the past several years. He's not a game breaker, but he's clearly NHL qualityAlex Giroux use to put up 100 point seasons in the AHL, but come NHL he couldn't do shit.

Best thing about it was, he was trying to down play it. Gotta love it.I'll certainly never forget the magical Chicago game.
You're not asking anything unreasonableI expect another 8 point game.
YepHe’s played 3 games in Bakersfield and has 5 points. Seems to be doing okay there.
We were down 2-0 in the 2nd period of that game too. Adding Gagner should help with our lack of scoring in the 3rd periodI'll certainly never forget the magical Chicago game.
