Thread: Simon Gagné traded to Flyers for a 4th rounder.

This feels like a cap move for a coming deal for more defense... I wonder if DL has written off Willie, Matt or even both for the year.

Hated how Gagne was being used and I'm also not a fan of the trade. It's probably because I was a big fan of Gagne and didn't want to see him go.

From what I understand, DL has written off at least Mitchell for the entire regular season.

3rd rounder if PHI makes the post-season

Is Forsberg coming back too? haha

Here today....Gagne tomorrow!

Well I'm sure the condition has to do with the Flyers performance as opposed to Kings performance since the Flyers are the ones getting the player here.

- Clear up $3.5 million of cap space for a player that isn't in the lineup.
- Get SOMETHING for a UFA-to-be instead of letting him walk for free.
- Already have a more-than-capable fill-in option healthy scratched in Richardson, as well as Toffoli and Stewart in minors.
- Somehow, this is a move that people don't like.
