Spooner cleared waivers earlier in the season and Gagner playing in the minors?

Garbage in, garbage out. Nothing to see here.

You could also look at this trade separately and merge the trees:

Eberle + Gagner = Gagner + Cairns (bad pick). Now when you cancel out the Gagners on both sides...

In the Oilers dressing room...

Hitch: "Listen up ladies! We got a new.... Err... Well a different face in the lineup. Sam, stand up please."

Ganger: *stands*

$36M in career earnings? I'm sure that team of perpetual 4th liners would jump at the chance.

And yet, back in Edmonton. Fresh outta a long stint in the AHL. The point stands, he is at this point a cautionary tale. If this is a second (third?) chance at reviving his career, just call time of death now.

I would love to read a book by Gagner when he's retired. He getting a first hand view of the Oiler's dark era. Traded away, only to be traded back and the team is even more in the dumps.

Would love to get a take on the entire saga from his perspective.

Yeah that win against the Flames in 07 was the difference between drafting Kane and Gagner.

I think he asked if he could go back to Toronto and play for the Marlies after the game. It's more fun to make a couple million in Toronto than in Edmonton. Either way he's on a AHL level team.
