I like both sides of the argument you folks are currently having. Both sides have merit.
I don't think Sam Gagner moves the needle much, and I'm very tired of older, past peak performance players coming here because that's tge best we can do.
However...
Sam is and was a warrior at times for us. He would have fit in the 93-00 Oilers easily.
He has a work ethic and commitment that CAN be used to tutor yiunger players.
If the org truly understands and want's character and proper culture here, then the return of Gagner is a very good start.
But I do caution those salivating over his play last night.
It. Was. One. Game.
