Confirmed with Link: Canucks trade Sam Gagner to Oilers for Ryan Spooner, one for one, no salary retained.

The fact of the matter is Gagner should have been playing here given the stiffs we dress in the line-up on a nightly basis. Spooner has definitely been even worse.

But chalk it up to Green's odd fascination with defensively mediocre players who are black holes offensively. We can't seem to get enough of them.

In the case of Spooner I think it goes more to Benning. After all...

Remember when everyone knew Spooner was going to be a canuck and it was just a matter of when....
