The preds haven't made a qualifying offer to Del Zotto yet. They're exploring the issue of not qualifying him or trading him. According to Poile he's 'not a fit' in Nashville.

He was awful for Rangers and Preds last year and qualifying him would be costly commitment for Preds at this point

Oilers trade Sam Gagner to Tampa Bay for Teddy Purcell.

#TBLightning to buy out Sam Gagner as long as he clears waivers, team says. #Oilers

Very odd

 

[Crazy_Ike]

Thank god. Never again will we see the horde of Oilers fans trying to unload him on us for quality players and first rounders simply because he has a history with Kane.

The Oilers do realize that at some point they are going to need to dress an NHL caliber defenseman besides J Schultz, though, right?

But now we have to fear that Stan will pick him up off Waivers or sign him as FA

OK, premature tweet by somebody in the organization, Gagner being put on waivers is incorrect (at least for now)

Stephen Whyno @SWhyno · 5m
Told at this moment no truth to Gagner buyout. Just a trade for now.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ok

Meh for Meh is how I would sum up trade

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Interesting trade. People were suggesting he would go for a lot more.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Funny after all those years of awful Oiler fan Gagner to Hawk trade proposals and this is what they ended up getting for him

Crazy. Saad + 1st never materialized for them. Who'd have guessed?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Are Oilers going to rush Drasaitl to NHL? If so that will be horrid management of kid

Then again it is the Oilers and well they have history of it

I wonder if Nurse also plays in the NHL this season.

surprised he didn't this season, tbh

Gagner to Yotes now, supposedly?

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I wonder what TB gets back. Haven't heard yet

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Sounds like Yandle...?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sam Gagner is the most sought after player in NHL apparently

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sounds like Yandle...?

Yotes cant be that stupid

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Yotes cant be that stupid

...that's what I'm thinking.

That's the name I saw tossed out there on twitter.

 

[zytz]

Sounds like Yandle...?

hearing the same rumors. if that's true I fully expect Edmonton front office to face some serious ****.

I do feel bad for their fans that management there is so terrible

 

[zytz]

Twitter is gold right now-

Gagner demanded a traded from GM Steve Yzerman after being snubbed for Team Canada Olympic team


LOLOLOL

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Lol...not Yandle

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
PHX gave up a draft pick to TB for Sam Gagner and B.J. Crombeen. TB clearing salary cap room.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

What is Tampa Bay up to?

Just making room after the Callahan contract or for some other acquisition?
