Perhaps a decent prospect with size or a 2nd round pick.
Edmonton's not going to trade him, especially with the way the team is lining up.

If we have a season (fingers crossed) Gagner will play on the second line, with Hemsky on the right, and Yakupov on the left. He'll also be playing against 2nd pairing defenders, as most teams will try and shut down the Hall-Hopkins-Eberle line.

Sounds like a pretty positive scenario for him.
