I think Gagner is the better player here at least in terms of potential. Tampa is doing a good job getting rid of their junk and at least they got a decent player in return.
Oilers management is just awful after seeing this trade go down for a player (soft, perimeter, no-defense winger) that doesn't help them at all and forcing Draisaitl into the lineup next year. It bottles the mind.

Yeah point-wise he was okay but he was inconsistent and a defensive liability. He would have been a better overall player if he was playing somewhere else.
