Okay.

 

[Seachd]

I want to say someone predicted this a few weeks ago.

 

[ZJuice]

Yay Kass and Gags, BFF’s!!!
Honestly though Spooner was hot garbage, Sammy Snowpants was at least decent as a PP specialist

 

[Missing smitty]

So $3 million plus AHLer for $3 million plus AHLer? Does Gagner have less term or a more buyoutable contract?

 

[Todd from Leduc]

So Eberle for Gagner, I did not expect things to shakeout this way.

 

[Kaniac]

Awh ya my boy is back home.

 

[Arpeggio]

Maybe my rookie card finally pays off.

Anyone else think he goes directly into our top six? I bet he plays with Nuge.

 

[Soli]

I want to say someone predicted this a few weeks ago.

I want to say more than.

 

[GodPucker]

He can play hockey. Win in my books..

 

[Paralyzer]

Lol snowpants is back haha. And I wonder if Gagner is scared shitless now he's on the same team as Kassian

 

[Jet Walters]

Wow. This has movie potential with Katz Studios.

So $3 million plus AHLer for $3 million plus AHLer? Does Gagner have less term or a more buyoutable contract?

Buying Ganger out opposed to Spooner saves us 300k for the 2 seasons.

Gagner is also currently a better player.

Edit: I was wrong about the buyout part.

 

[nabob]

Hahaha hahaha!! This is the cherry on top for this season.

 

[Shathar]

Welcome Back, Sam!
I would have taken 40 lashings with a scourge to rid this team of Spooner.

 

[Spawn]

Shit where’s @belair?

He’s been calling for this exact deal for awhilez

Finally got a former oiler back haha.

Well called!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

lol I own a Gagner jersey...one of the few named jersey's I own

not bad...more skill and cause be somewhat useful

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team has less direction than a broken compass.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Hahaha hahaha!! This is the cherry on top for this season.

Why?

Traded a 3mill AHL player for a better 3mill AHL player that is cheaper to buyout if we go that route.

The trades a win.

 

[Paralyzer]

For those asking what's the point? Gagner is a center first and for-most, secondly, he's been here before so he knows some of the players. Thirdly, who actually wanted to keep Spooner? No one really. So it's a somewhat win, kind of...

 

[Soli]

Does he play tonight?? Apparently the Oilers have 4 forwards banged up and don't have a lineup set.

I can't believe the Oilers can't use an Oilers photo of Gagner for the press release lol.

 

[FlameChampion]

I honestly dont see the point of this trade. Maybe I will be wrong.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Bring in Manning to play with McDavid.
Bring in Gagner to play with Kassian.
Trade Caggulia and Strome cause they are buddies with McDavid.

Trade is fine, at least you know what you get with Gagner. Really nothing for nothing at this point. At least Gagner can PP. Wished they would have retained that extra $500k.

Now send Pulj down.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

This team has less direction than a broken compass.

whats wrong with this trade?
both are pretty useless but Gagner has a little skill in this trade

 

[Marty McSurly]

Buying Ganger out opposed to Spooner saves us 300k for the 2 seasons.

No it doesn't. Their cap hits are essentially the same right now because NYR are retaining 22.5% and their buyouts are the same as well.

This team has less direction than a broken compass.

We don’t even have.. One Direction. We can’t even go down anymore
