Defensively, Gagne could be better.
But as for the top scorer's claim, Cammy IS younger, so it's not fair to compare more than 4 years back.

Cammy 50 pts in 65 games
09-10 playoffs
Gagne 9-3=12 in 19 games
Cammy 13-6=19 in 19 games
In summary, Gagne has played fewer games in every one of the last four seasons than Cammalleri, has fewer points per game in every one of the four years, and while he had a good playoff in 2010, Cammy had a GREAT one.
Gagne is a good player and someone will pick him up. Just don't over-rate his offence compared to Cammalleri. And the durability issues cannot be totally dismissed, either.
