Anyway, it appears that Gagner is on the block to trade for a defenseman. Any rumor surrounding the Oil and trade talks are likely to revolve around him.
MSP + Gagner is too much.
I'd guess that from the Oilers POV the highest they are likely offering is Gagner + 2nd/3rd. |
I'm sorry but you're delusional if you think MPS + Gagner..... or Gagner + 2nd/3rd is going to land you a #2 d-man.
Top-pairing d-men are in short supply. Teams that have them want more of them and aren't going to trade them for Gagner + MPS.
Below-average, smallish 2nd line centers and prospects like MPS who at this point looks like a 2nd line forward at best but possibly a third line speedy checker......... are in contrast a dime a dozen.
If you want a top-pairing #2 d-man, you need to start with a top-line forward and probably have to add to that.
