Christmas Tree Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Rumor has it Lou is asking about Sam Gagner? I'm a big fan of Sam Gagner and I'm about ready for him to go to a team that actually has a shot at the playoffs. Larsson + pick may even land him.

Muevelos Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 There's always been numerous rumours over the last two seasons involving his name. He would be a nice additiona I would say. Any source on Lou and the talks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Sam Gagner isn't very good defensively, and is mostly gonna be in the 40-50 point range. But he's pretty good in shootouts, and has plenty of talent. I'd take him as a legit 3rd line center if we can get him. I'd also ask about Hemsky if I'm Lou.

Muevelos Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wasn't he the player that had like 8 points in a game? Once it twice? I'd definitely take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Larsson? Holy crap you guys sell quickly on our prospects. The kid is young as hell. Also source your rumor I would not trade Larsson for him. No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of Sam Gagner and I'm about ready for him to go to a team that actually has a shot at the playoffs. Larsson + pick may even land him. No. I wouldn't trade Larsson alone, let alone Larsson +picks. Let him develop... please? TSN rumored Volchenkov for Brierre. I could see something like that. But I don't see us getting a younger guy with promise for what we can reasonably offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevsftw Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'd love to pick up Gagner, but not for Larsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneax Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I'm would love gagner, but what could we conceivably trade? Mark Fayne and a defensive prospect? Don't know that that is worth Sam Ganger. Edited January 15, 2014 by Sneax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Larsson plus a pick for a midtier forward like gagner? Yeah, pass. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you bring in gagner he would be our 3rd line center. Zajac and henrique are here long term. I would not trade Larsson or Merrill for a third line center, would much rather be patient and wait until the both develop into top pairing defensemen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 No. I wouldn't trade Larsson alone, let alone Larsson +picks. Let him develop... please? TSN rumored Volchenkov for Brierre. I could see something like that. But I don't see us getting a younger guy with promise for what we can reasonably offer. I think the Briere thing was speculation from the ledger's Randy Miller. I don't know if TSN is picking up on that. In any event, as much as some people want to dump Volchenkov, I would not trade him for Briere, who is old, and who stinks. In fact, Volchenkov has actualky been very good this year. Bottom line, we need younger players. If the idea is to clear up the log jam in defense, don't create another one at forward, but even worse in that you're adding someone else that you'll want to unload who has an NTC in Briere. If the idea is to actually make the team better in the process, go for a young impact forward. I'm not opposed to trading anyone on D, except for perhaps Gelinas who has a unique skill set, but go for someone like Evander Kane, Blake Wheeler if Larsson or Merrill is involved.

Devilsfan118 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Larsson + for Yak maybe. Can we please stop with this already. Evening imagining trading Larsson, a quiet, hard working kid, for Yak, who has already shown major attitude problems, makes me crazy. Plus talk about another flight risk..

Chuck the Duck Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I like Gagner, although I would prefer David Perron. Definitely wouldn't trade Larsson for either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've long been a fan of Gagner, still only 24, can play both C and RW, above average offensively, signed thru the next 2 years at $4.8M so he wouldn't be a rental which is a plus.I don't see why Edmonton would want Fayne since he's a UFA. Plus he's been playing great for the Devils so it wouldn't make sense to move him. Edmonton would want definitely want a NHL player that's still young and won't hit UFA status soon.I'd say Gelinas and Josefson/Loktionov and perhaps a pick for Gagner but the Devils would be over the cap. That trio together would make the trade cap compliant but I seriously doubt Lou would want to trade away his forward depth like that. Gelinas + Josefson + a pick for Gagner with Edmonton retaining 5% would work but would push NJ right up against the cap.Overall while on ice I think Gagner would be a good fit, it seems that NJ and EDM don't match up too well for a trade at this moment in time.

DJ Eco Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) @EdmontonOilers: #Oilers acquire forward Matt Hendricks from @PredsNHL in exchange for goaltender Devan Dubnyk I think Gagner's about to be traded, and Matt Hendricks is plugging up the 4th line center spot.

Marshall Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If that's the trade the return they got for Dubnyk, then now is the time to offer Volchenkov/Salvador for a scoring forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just upgrading in goal it seems - they also acquired Scrivens for a 3rd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
