The not getting better part is my opinion, so me. We shouldn't be looking to get younger or cheaper necessarily, but when you aren't getting better, then there should be some sort of justifiable reason for making the trade. It's hard to say, "we'll, we didn't improve, but on the bright side, at least we got older".

I forgot to mention we also didn't fill the 2C hole everyone had identified (which Gagner would have at least filled to some degree) or the multiple holes on D.

Maloney made yet another outstanding addition IMO buying extremely low on a player with plenty of upside.

We should be using our cap space to add NHL players, not trading our NHL players for lesser NHL players who make the same money (more if you consider the fact that AZ is only paying Gagner $3.2M)
