True.

Gagner could also get abducted by aliens, the range of possibilities for him in life is huge.

Seriously....Did you see the qualifier I know it's early? I don't think a trade will happen but it's interesting staying with this development possibility that could unfold as the season progresses.

Okay, how often does it happen later in the season these days?

the only team that seams to bring back past fodder regularly is the Blackhawks, and they don't do it with term on contract

Maybe we should put Gudbranson in front of the net. Really drive up his trade value

Carol brought up CBJ's struggling PP that did so well last season with Gagner. Teams like familiarity and have traded back for players that worked out for them. They are competing in a tight division so they might have interest in anything that gives them an edge like the PP.

As for Canucks they are rebuilding and it's all about development and asset accumulation. They have a greater need to add to their D and wingers to take Gagner's spot on the team now as well as the farm in Goldy, Boucher and Rodin.

So where there is a need and value gained for both teams a trade is possible.

I just think it's a long shot, like less than 1%. If Henrik is planning to retire than Benning probably sees Gagner valuable as a playmaker here since this lineup sorely lacks it. And CBJ has more than enough talent to get their PP figured out, I doubt the first thing on their GM's mind will be to trade for Gagner and his contract. If their PP is still struggling by Christmas, I bet he'll make calls around the league for rentals. Maybe Vanek would be of interest to them, not Gagner's 2 and a half years.

And plus Gagner is Tavares' bff, his value is greater off the ice

Good point. Even though I don't like him on the Sedin unit here, it's ahrd to argue this.

lol at Calvert though, we have a few Calvert's on our team for sure.
