I'd love to see Gagner sign with Colorado. He does a lot of little things very well just like Helm does.

As a Wings fan that has had the pleasure of watching him the last 2 years, let me tell you - you'd love him. I understand why we didn't re-sign him, but was bummed we didn't.

He'd be an absolute steal for league minimum, for a SC team like Colorado.

How is his speed/skating?

It's still good. He's definitely not slow.

It's crazy the Avs have built a team where being a good skater, usually isn't good enough. He's a true pro so I'm guessing the Avs would be happy to have him if he's ok with sharing nacho duty with Cogs/Helm. Along with EJ, I can see the Avs using some load management tactics.

My guess is he signs in Toronto for league min if the space is made.

I don't think he'll sign in Toronto, I could see Ottawa though. He doesn't seem like the type that likes the big cities to me. If I had to bet, I could see him signing either a 1 year deal, or PTO with Edmonton or Columbus.

I think whoever actually gives him a chance, will get a steal and love him. He went from a cap moving throw in, to playing here a couple years and I was all for the Wings giving him a 2 year deal to stay, because he's that good of a guy and just such a consummate professional that can still play and add offense on the 4th line as well.

He's fromt he gta and purchased his former minor hockey team with JT. He is very much a Toronto guy, even if the core is too busy. I think we all agree that who ever gets him will be quite happy with ol Sam Wise Gagner

Gagner gets a PTO and fights Kaut for the spot, eventually winning for his veteranyness.

I don't know, Franky is pretty protective of his adopted son Kaut. He might jump in lol.
