Tough to argue with this from the Canucks' perspective. Gagner was done in VanCity and on loan to the Marlies. Some Utica Comets fans were choked that the veteran center they needed was playing for an AHL rival in the North Division. At least Spooner now goes to the Comets and instantly makes them better.
Basically two players who should probably be finishing their careers in Europe, and probably would be by now if their respective NHL GM's hadn't signed them to ridiculous three-year contracts. Still a chance one, or both of them, gets bought out in the off-season anyway.
