He didn't say "Gagner would be our 3rd best center", he said "Gagner would be our third line center". Which he would. In Barry Trotz hockey, you dont get playing time for being skilled, you get it for playing a great two-way game...something Gagner doesn't. I can't think of many worse fits for our system. Trotz would NEVER play Gagner above Fisher or Legwand, fair or not.
We already have Fisher and Legwand for top 6 Cs. Trotz has said Wilson and Smith will BOTH get shots at C this year. Spaling and Gaustad are also natural centers. Gagner just doesn't fit. Value wise, sure, its fine, but fit wise, it isnt good for us.
