It's pretty simple, the nucks now have a player they are paying to play in their organization vrs paying gagner to play in Toronyos organization.....

Considering that both are terrible players, I am not sure that this is a positive thing.

Spooner would be interesting to call up and see what he does with Pettersson and Boeser at practice.

But I love how Gagner found his way back to Edmonton.

It would be interesting to see what he does with those two, he may be able to increase his production to .2 points/game...

So you’d agree that one turd in hand is worth two in the Bush? Because both are turd players! But at least Gagner headache wasn’t even exsistent! Now the Canucks will make a stupid decision play him in the NHL where he’s been pure garbage while getting chances with RNH, Drai and MethDavid!

Just call gagner up if the idea is to try a mediocre player in the NHL lineup

Not according to Cap Friendly, it shows you as using $865,628 of LTIR space still. So someone still needs to go, whether it be a trade or a demotion.

That's with 24 players.... Pulju to AHL is clearly coming up.

Also, at least one D-man will be moved at the deadline.

Yes, but they also only have 13 forwards currently. Do they really want to run with 12 forwards and 9D? I suspect we see a defenseman moved or waived instead.

If you read this thread on the Canucks end of this board you’d be surprised how many don’t believe this to be true

He’s been a half decent player before. Is it wrong to be optimistic about a guy who has shown something in the past that we acquired for basically nothing? What is actually the problem here?

Right now they have 14 FWDs and 8 D-men in pro (Sekera included)... So yes, Pulju down is the most natural, esspecially after the Gagner trade.

Nothing wrong there, you can keep hoping that Louis Eriksson will be a good player again..

I had hope for Spooner but he really is garbage. Play dies on his stick. He can skate and sometimes deke but I’d rather have Ryan Strome. Sad really.

I’m not saying he is going to be amazing or even NHL Calibre. But a project is better than what we had before, surely.
