Sam Gagner is a player who has seemed to be around forever and the problem is that people view him as a veteran as a result when in fact he is still 23 years old and has those growing pains as any young player does. I think he will be a second line center for a few years to come in this league but will always leave people wanting more - likely a 60-65 point player in his prime with some defensive gaps in large part because he just is so damn small. In retrospect Couture would be a better fit but that is the thing with drafting young players, 90% of the time there is always some better selected later.
