This is literally the best outcome you could hope for from the Spooner fiasco. I suggested this move about a month ago when Spooner hit waivers, so I'm happy.

I'm actually surprised Vancouver made this move. Perhaps they feel Oilers are far enough in the rearview mirror at this point.

Anyways, Gagner has some issues, but what he brings is something the Oilers can use. His numbers suggest there is still offense and he has always produced on the power play. I'd like to see Draisaitl / McDavid / Gagner for a few games and see if anything clicks.

Wash in salary and term and an AHL asset for an NHL one. Plus someone who has always been popular with the fanbase and actually has people feeling happy about an Oilers trade, which is strange and wonderful.

Also gives them a right hand option in the faceoff circle. Agreed that it’s the best outcome re: Spooner. Cool to see Sam embrace coming back here with his twitter profile pic update so soon after the deal broke. Hopefully can do what we’ve been lacking and chip in some secondary scoring.

Can’t be worse than Spooner, right?

Don't expect much out of an AHL Gagner, never had good wheels, don't really understand this move at all.
Spooner 27, Gagner 29

Gagner is 29!? That can’t be right.

By the way I'm hoping Gagner lights it up .. just realizing that its a very low probability of happening.

McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
