They could hold on to Gagner for now and hope he goes on a crazy hot streak for a few days like he did last year and then ship him out. Otherwise, getting a decent bottom 6 winger like Clifford isn't all that terrible.

In reality Sam Gagner is a patently mediocre player. That 8 point night in 2012 was needed to get over the 40 point hump and last year he was putting up points in a contract year. After he signed the contract it was right back to being mediocre.
