The win here is Utica gets a top 6 center...Van doesn't have room for Spooner right now anyway.

Utica gainsDon't really get the purpose of this deal from either side, both players stink and they have virtually identical contracts so there aren't really money implications (besides the Canucks saving a minuscule amount of cap space).
Edmonton prob wants to try gagner in the top 6 bc theyre desperate and he has some actual skills.Don't really get the purpose of this deal from either side, both players stink and they have virtually identical contracts so there aren't really money implications (besides the Canucks saving a minuscule amount of cap space).
Spooner will probably suck also...
All 3 have 1 way deals. End result is the same if they send one down.I'm guessing Spooner stays up and Schaller goes down. Wonder if ownership didn't want Benning to bury multiple mistake contracts in the AHL, so this is a way around that.
And yes, this will help Utica in one way or another.. but Gagner should have been there anyway, so not giving any credit for that.
I don't think there's anything probably about it. Spooner was having himself a Schaller-tier season.

I hope Spooner will surprise some people here.
