we suck so we trade for gagne i love gagne but come on homer wtf

Should have just signed #68 in the offseason.

Are you spelling his name correctly on the ebay search?
- Atomic Wedgie

I thought he wanted a ganja jersey, that would be pretty cool!

Whats the skinny on why Gagne has been a scratch?

My expectation is that he is a depth player, at best.
- Jsaquella

Exactly.

Why would I be happy? I don't care about 5-7 years ago. I live in today and hes washed up.
- stveshdy

I think you have a legitimate point about giving up draft picks for older players. But not sure if you do about Gagne being washed up.

If he doesn't stay healthy than Wellwood and Harry Z get to play anyways.
- eayost

They should be playing now. Keep the pick.

Third-round pick if Flyers make the playoffs. Fourth if they do not.

My opinion is he is. Others may think he's not.

You really want to waste $2-3M or more on Gagne?
- stveshdy

Depends how he plays out the year. Maybe that's why they get him for practically nothing now. See firsthand what he can still do. And if he wants that much coin and someone else is willing to give it, then you just don't sign him.

Exactly.

Following in the footsteps of guys like Hextall, Tocchet, and Recchi...
- Lexington Flyer

Oh, how did I forget Recchi in my Throwback Tuesday jokes. He did come for a 2nd tour of duty.

Another trade is upon us

They could of dressed Shelley. Unreal.
- stveshdy

Ok, I thought you were overstating his 'used up'ness before, but now we're in the realm of hyperbole.

Exactly.
- stveshdy

only thing i can hope for is that he shows he can play we miss the playoffs and we trade him at the TDL for more than a 4th

My opinion is he is. Others may think he's not.
- stveshdy

he was playing fairly well in SCF games 8 months ago.

Richards and Carter don't like him.

hartnell?

Richards and Carter don't like him.
- Scoob

is that true?

Dont see how anyone can be that bummed about this its a conditional 4th round pick something needed to happen...Yeah Gags isnt the same player but he will surely help if anything with leadership. The flyers didnt give up any player for him either...As for Fedatanko I wouldnt be at all shocked to see him traded within a week or two just a feeling. Doesnt seem like his heart is in Philly.
- flyerfan28

There's a few players I can think of that I would have loved to give up for gagne instead of a pick. It's reportedly a deep draft. Our farm system is the worst in the NHL. I want as many chances as possible to replenish. Why the eff do we have to give up a 4th for a scratched player and jersey can get ponikorovsky for a 7th?

From my blog: Flyers asked Simon Gagné to fly as soon as possible to Philadelphia to make sure he'll be in the lineup Wednesday vs Caps.

Can't be much worse than the Knuble-Briere-Fedotenko line

Knuble/Feds/Gagne = Walking Dead Line
