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.
3rd rounder if PHI makes the post-season
Is Forsberg coming back too? haha
Here today....Gagne tomorrow!
- 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.
