Why are we having a fire sale now? Seriously?

Hey if Philly is in the mood to retain salary.. I would give them a call and ask what it would take to get Gagner at 50%.
People can say what they want about him... but he's 26 and miles ahead of Tlusty, Josefson, Kennedy, Ruutu, Sislo, and Gionta.
Gagner is the new Brunner who was the new Semin, the unwanted, one-dimensional offensive forwards who don't even produce offense anymore but we still go crazy over.
Gagner the $3.2-million AHL player
Brunner hardly had any NHL experience and was older.
Semin fell off the face of the earth production wise.
Again, for the 10,000th time, look at Gagner's numbers. He is in no way like either of them.
And yet he's out of the league entirely.
Other than maybe his rookie season and the lockout season I don't even see anything particularly impressive point wise considering he was in plum roles in Edmonton.
Yeah, this is the first time he's been in the AHL in his entire career and it's because the Flyers hand out contracts like free samples of weird meat at Asian restaurants at the mall.
Compare him to 80% of our roster and you'll see what makes him appealing.
But Zajac needs to score on one of these two breakaways the last 2 games. Last game he at least forced the goalie to make a save. Tonight though, he must have shot the puck to Ontario somewhere.
You think we're the only team he'd be a theoretical improvement on? Its not fantasy hockey where you can just plug in stats and ignore giving him a different role, how he plays without the puck, intelligence and coach-ability.
It just gets old seeing the same type of posts wanting everyone on the land of the misfit toys because they have flash when none of those guys that we constantly debate ever pan out elsewhere.
This made me laugh so hard. I wonder if Zajac's puck has landed yet.
I'd like to see a little effort. That's all. Gagner would have required very little effort. A roll of the dice that would have cost us zero in assets.
And again, It does not have to be Gagner, I'd love someone better, but Gagner would have been such an easy move.
so with this statement, you are implying Shero is not putting in effort?
