he had a concussion which can happen to anyone, had a pulled groin, and a broken foot. the concussion was fine after he came back from it the next year and a broken foot can happen to anyone. he does not really have reoccuring injuries. are you saying the islanders would not want him?

Gagne is coming off of a 47 point season.
He has NEVER broken the 80 point plateau in his career.

as much as I like him, he's overpaid.

he has had 70 points. not to mention a 47 goal season and a 40 goal season. and unlike a lot of snipers he is very good defensively. he is seriously one of the best back checkers on this team. besides, him at 5.2 mil is better than kovalchuk at 8.5 mil.

Right now I have no idea what the Islanders are doing. They let Ryan Jankowski who was the Assistant GM go two days ago. Jankowski will not be replaced. His duties have been given to Garth Snow. Yesterday they let Bryan Trottier go. He was involved with player development. He worked with the prospects at rookie camp & such. I along with many Islanders fans are wondering who's next & why were these moves made.

The Islanders are a cap floor team. That's obvious by the moves Wang has made. The Kovalchuk crap was simply for PR purposes as far as I'm concerned. If Gagne is put on waivers I think Toronto would pick him up at 2. Heck Edmonton might take him with the 1st pick. I really don't know what the Islanders would do if the Flyers put him on waivers. I do know that Bowman tried to get some of the Isles prospects for Byfuglien & others & Snow said NO!!

so if a team is willing to take on his contract through waivers why would they not give up some picks and prospects to get him on their team?

would the islanders rather hope he drops to them or just trade some picks and prospects to make sure they get him? any team willing to take him through waivers will give something to get him.

Why trade any picks, players or prospects when you can get him for his contract?

I don't think Wang is in a spending mood.

gagne has a year left on his contract and then he is a ufa.

Oh right. My bad. I TOTALLY looked at the Cap Geek page wrong. I keep thinking the first column is this past season.

So that said, why would the Kings want an overpaid, somewhat productive forward for an underpaid, potential star goalie?

It would be interesting if buffalo offered up Stafford for him....
Free up 3.3 million of cap space on the Flyers bench. Is that enough?

The Islanders are under the cap floor. However they aren't going to trade away their kids or picks. They're going to sign Doug Weight. I expect Kirill Petrov to be signed & make the team. Another UFA or two might be signed but, they will not be much over the cap floor. That's guaranteed. The Town of Hemstead is going to present Wang with probably a very scaled down version of his Lighthouse Project soon. Wang is going to have to make a decision on what he wants to do with the team at some point.

Right now it's keep the kids, let them develop & stay at the cap floor.

Cool. I hope they make it happen. The Lighthouse Project looks awesome.

no because they just signed zherdev who is expected to make around 3 mil. this would actually be more than gagne makes. they need to trade gagne for picks, prospects, or someone making around 1 mil.

I don't think Kate Murray the TOH supervisor is going to give Chuck anything near what he wants. If it's scaled down to 40% of what Wang wants he'll be lucky. She got re-elected she really doesn't have to give him anything.
