See, this contract in my opinion is fantastic for both sides.

Gagner needs a rebound year so he goes to a team with little depth so hes going to get his chance.

But seriously check out Gagner's stats for the past few years, if you try and look past last year in Philadelphia he plays ~70 games and gets between 30-40 points.

Hes actually only dipped below 40 points twice in his career.

If you can grab a ~40 point centre for $650K you do it every day.

On the flip side he must have learned his defensive game from Taylor Hall because his +/- stats are reprehensible.
