Confirmed with Link: Gagner and Crombeen traded to Arizona for 2015 6th round pick

[Dirty Old Man]

Looks like he'll have to fight Mikkel over the sweater number...

...and I see Crombeen wore 19 in Tampa Bay ...

 

[Numminen]

Gagner and 8 point night against Blackhawks? I love him already

 

[ck26]

This thread was a fun read.

GMDM has proven himself again....

Agreed. This has turned a very bad situation into one that might be quite good. And at essentially zero cost.

Bloodlines. Gagner's dad was an NHLer

So was Crombeen's

We've got Tie Domi's kid, Ulf Samuelsson's kid, Gord Murphy's kid, Al MacInnis's kid, Dave Gagner's kid, Mike Crombeen's kid and Fred Perlini's kid ... this is a fun experiment GMDM is running ...

 

[RemoAZ]

I love the progression of this thread. From slight hope, to dread, to revulsion, to almost joy. My favorite part of this trade is it means the end of Bissonnette. I hate him so much.

Same

how can you get a player of Gagners caliber AND a decent grinder for only a 6th round pick???

Hopefully a good experiment.

More ties ... Tippett is a former teammate of Gagner's and Crombeen's fathers. Tipp also coached B.J. Crombeen in Dallas (when he was recalled from the minor team).

Jedi mind trick. These are not the droids you're looking for. And we'll take Gagner and Crombeen for a 6th round pick. Oh, you'll retain a third of Gagner's salary, too.

Crony hockeyism?

Obi Don Maloney needs to be someone's username. Immediately.

 

[wpgyotes]

There's a good number of teams in our budget range that would've made this move in a heartbeat.

Gagner was too redundant on the Oilers, but he'll bring a much needed skillset to the Yotes. He'll replace Ribeiro's production and be a better fit. Crombeen adds forward depth we need. I like it.

and not even paying full price.

 

[DesertDawg]

You got to admit that Yzerman did the Coyotes a favor. They could of bought out Gagner instead, which would be the same total amount but over 4 years instead of 2.

I really hope he works for you guys. Been a favorite of mine (although bad at hockey) since he was drafted

Legit beverage spew right there. Well played.

 

[strizzy16]

Just watched the highlights of Gagner going off against the Blackhawks. Can't wait to see him replicating that in a couple of months

Oh, and that shootout move against Greiss was sickkkkkk

This guy has talent. Hopefully it finally comes to fruition. Could be a career year

Simply an incredible sequence of events from Maloney... especially considering the backlash that the Ribiero move (in terms of $$$) was receiving on this forum only a couple of short days ago

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Anyone think Gagner will go from 89 to 98?

Or 88.

 

[_Del_]

9

He's an 89 birthdate. I don't think he'll go 88.

 

[DesertDawg]

Obi Don Maloney

These are not the assets you are looking for

 

[RABBIT]

9

He's an 89 birthdate. I don't think he'll go 88.

this. If we just "honor" the numbers in the ring of honor and they aren't retired, I believe he'll go with 9 because that's what he wore for team Canada for the World Juniors. Which will be sick. My favorite hockey number and i'll be glad to see it back

 

[12ozPapa]

I've thought for a long time Gagner would be best suited on a wing. Is that something you see the Coyotes attempting?

 

[Vip]

Obi Don Maloney

Lol well done!

"You WILL take a 6th for these players"

"I will take a 6th for these players"

Anyone think Gagner will go from 89 to 98?

I bet he goes to 98.

Ah, just saw above that he wore 9 in the worlds and such. That's probably what he will wear which is pretty cool. Don't see that number too often.
