Sam Gagner waived. I wonder if he'd be an upgrade at 4C? I can't believe he's fallen off so much, used to be a decent player.

missed you posted this.
He would help our 2nd PP unit (as long as Andy a is still there anyway)
It would take up all of LA's free cap space leaving no room to help the backend. If the Carter injury is somewhat serious maybe worth putting in claim. I don't think LA should though and maybe work out a trade later once he clears. Philly can retain on him if need be
 
Its too bad he's apparently not good at faceoffs, if he was I could see a claim. ****ing Stoll got claimed.

He has confidence issues and it shows on every miscue. Some players shake off the bad decision and go forward, he doesn't. Also, he isn't good in puck battles, and takes too long to make a decision and by then the chance is gone. He played better when they put him on wing, because less pressure being a less responsible position. Also , got a concussion end of Nov and hasn't played since.

Some shifts he's really good and others in the same game, not so much. It's a shame because when he does play well you see the glimpse of what he was...then it falls off just as fast.

Maybe with the right coach...he could turn it around.

Gagner went for CAP issues, Flyers are at the CAP wall and Streit and Del Zotto will be coming off IR , somebody had to go .

I was wondering what Hexy would do to keep The Ghost on the team, he's become a huge part of the offense and has shown he's an NHL ready elite player in the making, no way he could go back to the AHL.

Didn't know Gagner was concussed recently, but I do think our coaching staff might be able to right his course. I don't think he'll get claimed because of his cap hit though.

I still want to see Laughton in a Kings uniform.

Not happening. Hexy is HUGE fan of his game and easy to see why. Should be one of the staples at center for them going forward, with (hopefully) the other young guys coming up Provorov and Sanheim making the team next year and Stolarz coming up as well.
 
This team has Stanley Cup aspirations and you guys are at the city dump looking for players.

Well, its better than just trading assets away for someone that may or may not work out. ****ing Zubrus seems to be playing well enough for the Sharks, even garbage Stoll got claimed by a good Minnesota team. The only reason I even considered Gagner was as a stop gap for Carter.

I too noticed the play of Zubrus the other night. He was going to the net, and generating some chances.
 
The team with the worst league record beats the team with the best league record.
 
STL manages to blow a two-goal lead to NSH in the last four minutes at home and now they are in OT.

And dominate the OT and win it. Still they gave up a point to a divisional rival, and in the Central, unlike the Pathetic, could come back to haunt them down the road.
 
Plus I think Dallas is really, really suspect in goal. And will be their achilles heel come playoff time.

They don't exactly play a very good 200ft game either. Their forwards are thinking offense most of the game.
