Icon28 Red Wings extend Sam Gagner (1 yr, $850k)

It's pretty amazing to me that Edmonton traded two seconds and a decent bottom-six centre in Gagner for a guy in Athanasiou who genuinely may walk from Edmonton this summer in the likely event he goes unqualified.

Good for Gagner, I think the Oilers made a mistake trading him.

the oilers already have plenty of Gagner type guys. 4th liners who really dont do much. No Loss there. Agreed, what they gave up for AA was pretty bad

Smart move by Gagner. With a flat cap have to think most teams will be using players within system with cheap contracts for 4th line. IMO the top players will get paid for their talent . The bottom players are going to be fighting just to stay in the NhL

Holding out hope that Gagner scores more points for the Wings next year compared to AA for the Oilers...

It is hilarious that Ken Holland got so much love and praise for dumping Lucic for Neal early on yet that trade now favors the Flames. He went out and wasted assets on Athanasiou and Green while massively overpaying for a grinder in Kassian on a 4 year deal.

Holland has been mediocre at best in his run in Edmonton that includes another Did not qualify status for the playoffs this year.

Sources inside the the Detroit organization say they really like Sam's ability to finish a check....

That’s if the Oilers even qualify AA, which would be at $3 million.

They don’t have a lot of surplus cap space, even after filling roster spots with really cheap players.
