That's your opinion that Gagne has not developed as expected, I have the opposite opinion What do you suppose was expected from him for him to have developed as expected? He had a 20 goal season in his 2nd yr in the AHL, was he expected to do better than that? I find people have unrealistic expectations of prospects most of the time & think it is easy to make it to the NHL.Gagne hasn't developed as expected, but I can see why they took him where they did.
Not many players out there that are 6'5 and skate and shoot as well as he does. Kid has an absolute rocket.
That team was pretty bad though and its not like he was given a ton of ice time. I know his numbers have never been great but he does generally standout when I see him at camp and in some games. Maybe that's just his size and skating but I still have some hope for him. He's got that nice heavy shot and he seems willing to use it. Hopefully he gets some better opportunity and linemates this season.Gange has been disappointing, no doubt there. Hard o be excited with his production,even with 20 goals.
Very few Cy Young players make it for a reason.
He was a no show in 16-17. He scored 20 in the ahl in 17-18. Not a meteoric rise but that’s legit progress.Gagne hasn't developed as expected, but I can see why they took him where they did.

I think he was injured most of his last year junior .. that is a set back. He can score and is a shoot first player. He could have a place in the right spot. He still needs to work at his overall game right now.He was a no show in 16-17. He scored 20 in the ahl in 17-18. Not a meteoric rise but that’s legit progress.
