Does his dad still work for the Canucks?

CAn't wait for HOlland to sign him. Nobody will be able to beat our 7 line rotation in the playoffs.

psh nobody has more 4th lines than montreal.

He said in the playoffs.

I thought Chicago would be good. They could get him for cheap and maybe reunite him with Kane and see how he does.

Yeah, Chicago would probably be the perfect place for him to revjuvinate his career.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'd love to bring him in as an extra forward, but I don't think it'll happen.

Just drop Panarin or Anisimov from the line to test if they still have chemistry? Makes no sense at all.

 

[BonMorrison]

Los Angeles? They could use more scoring from the bottom six. Put him at #3C, surround him with King/Brown, and bump Lewis to the 4th line.

 

[Curufinwe]

He really needs to play wing.

 

[belair]

No. He now works for the same company as Sam's agent IIRC.

He doesn't have to play with Kane, depth scoring is never bad and he's likely cheap.

 

[Esq]

Still think the Hawks take a flyer on him so long as signed for $950k or less.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Imagine if Leafs signed him, we could get a whole line of Gagners

Marner-Gagner-Nylander

lolol sam is still money1 in the shootout

 

[Super Cake]

I think the Sens were once rumored to be in on him. Probably not anymore since the Kelly signing.

Los Angeles does make sense.

If I were a fan of theirs, I'd be worried about the offense and forwards going into this year. Not that Gagner automatically fixes things or even puts more than a dent in it, but he could be a cheap acquisition that's low risk/high reward.

I admit that I'm not familiar with their prospects so much, so maybe they have a good forward prospect that can step in. But they replaced Williams with Lucic pretty much, now they're replaced Lucic with Teddy Purcell.

Would be good that bottom 6 has defense but lacks that secondary scoring

Have to give it a shot cause Anisimov could solve the 1LW problem.

Meh, doesn't make much less sense than pairing Panik and a declining Hossa with Toews. Chicago needs to address their scoring depth. No matter how good Toews is, he obviously needs better supporting players to make them more than a one line threat.

 

[ClydeLee]

Only worth signing him in Chicago if they bring Sergi back overseas.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Sam Gagner played 3rd line RW for most of the season with Philadelphia.

Gagner is better off playing RW, then he would be playing as a centre.

 

[biturbo19]

I think the Canucks would be a pretty solid fit for both parties. Canucks could really use his skill, versatility, RH shot. For Gagner, he'd probably be getting about as good an opportunity as he's gonna find to potentially play some actual minutes. He's always produced reasonably well when he's had a chance to play some Top-6 type minutes.
