I actually really really like that Gagner deal. Gagner did great last season as the 13th man. Turris hasn't really had any impact at all. Could be a beneficial trade for both sides.
Although we get the 2 best players in the Nashville deal, it doesn't make sense. Both Forsberg and Ekholm will be in line for hefty contract extensions in the next 2 season. We have Nurse, Nuge, Yamo and JP to deal with in that same time frame. There are also some pretty tough expansion draft implications here. We would need to protect these guys, which would mean exposing a pretty good player. Broberg, Jones a 1st and a 2nd are all great assets for the future. Best to keep hold onto them.
LA deal is pretty bad. Barrie has been great for us. Why move him for a bottom pairing guy? We are better off having him for a playoff push to hopefully take some steps forwards this season
