Lowe must be fuming, only entertaining question is, does he leak any of that rage publicly?

Not sure why? Gagner asking too much $5.5mil- Oilers predictably low balling him at $3.5mil; ultimately they will meet in the middle on a realistic deal @ $4.5-4.75mil. This is standard contract negotiations. If there ends up being too much bad blood over the whole negotiaton, (which would be ridiculous since Gagner's camp are the ones who filed for it), then Gagner plays his arse off & asks for a trade. That would bode well for the Oilers anyway since he would put up points in a career year, helping the team & garnering higher trade value.
