I'll pass. There's a reason why I call him Tony Dbag...
Though even if I didn't dislike him personally, I have no room for him even if he does make the team. I have deals lined up for potential RHD upgrades already.
The add would have to be the main piece of a deal. Gagner has zero value because he's in the minors. I could take him back for cap purposes, but nothing more.

The old Buffalo GM had this trade in place before I took on the position.
Still, although Seabrook has improved a bit this year, he messes with my expansion draft plans and still has one of the worst (if not the worst) contracts in the league.

40+ point defenceman.
In additon, lets be real.
GM Game V4 will be the start of expansion.

I'd consider it if (and only if) I know that we won't make it to the expansion draft. And even if we do not, still put me down as "lean no". That contract is so bad, and it can't be stashed away like Horton's can.

First of all, he is an elite defence piece to any team. Capable of logging big hard minutes against the likes of Milan Lucic and Matt Martin.
Secondly, he can produce 40+ points on a bottom feeder of a team. While, maintaining positive fancy stats.
Thirdly, lets be real. v4 starting sooner then we think.
