weird

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Could be a good fit. Columbus has a lot of big bodies that can open up the ice for little Samwise.


Also now that Blue Jackets nameplate on his draft jersey comes full circle and is appropriate.

 

[GKJ]

Pleased Gagner found an NHL deal.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Was thinking either Anaheim or Columbus would sign Sam Gagner.

I wonder what the contract looks like. Columbus shouldn't be paying anything over 1.15mil a season.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

overpaid and contract too long.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Comes with the added bonus that, if the Jackets are not in playoff contention at the deadline, and Gagner played pretty well, they can pickup a draft pick for him.

If.

 

[VainGretzky]

1.75mill my guess

 

[Dogewow]

Good for Columbus and Gagner I suppose.

 

[Oilslick941611]

most Oilers fans wil say he sucks and is a waste of money, I however say good signing, good solid guy that was mis used and ran out of town, so many former oilers go on to be semi important pieces on other teams.

 

[McHaNugYakEbNurDra]

Am I the only one waiting for a more concrete 'confirmation' than Hockeybuzz and "Eklund" (not sure if thats the same "Eklund" that is popular on these forums or not ).

I could see him being a decent fit in Columbus and believe the possibility of this signing, but until a more reputable source confirms it, I think I will wait to give an opinion

 

[Gsus]

1.5M is my guess.

 

[RedWingzz]

I've always liked Gagner, and the Jackets are a team I like watching every now and then, so I'm glad this happened. Hopefully he has a solid year and can resurrect his career.

Do we know how much this is worth?

 

[rt]

1yr, 1mil is my bet

 

[leaflover]

Wasn't expecting Columbus, thought they had some young guys that were ready for a good look on the wing.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

are they not at the contract limit?

generalfanager has them 50/50

Maybe it's going to take until Monday because they need to lose a contract.

 

[joshking834]

overpaid and contract too long.

Too long? It's for one year.

Pierre-Luc Dubois, Keegan Kolesar, Gabriel Carlsson and Kole Sherwood's contracts won't count unless they play at least 10 NHL games next season.

 

[PhoenyX]

I'm hearing it's $2 million x 2 years

 

[JohnnyO]

Pleased Gagner found an NHL deal.

Glad too, also good on the avatar. Big fan of The Boss.

 

[Icebreakers]

I read this as Gengar... lol

Can someone explain the relevance of this? This one is going right over my head lol

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Wanted Chicago to give Gagner a cheap deal. They could afford him plus him and Kane had chemistry in London.
