Turris had 0.59 PPG compared to Gagner's 0.62(take out gagner's lucky game and hes at 0.52 ppg). I guess Gagner's numbers are crappy as well... except hes not so good defensively.

in 49 games played...
54 games...you forgot about his pointless 6 games before the trade
and no one gets "lucky" scoring 8 points in 1 game..
Pierre McGuire thinks Turris would have had 70 points this season if the entire season was played. I don't see that and I hope he repeats last year for the full year.
Nope. Those games dont show anything, as Turris was on the 4th line on a team that didn't want him to succeed.
It was luck. Everything went right for him that game. Crosby would be lucky to score 8 points in a game...
....this is awesome.
let's not use the complete season of Turris because it would affect his PPG, and let's forget about Gagners 8 point game cuz it was lucky and inflates his PPG.
one player is just lucky and the other one was completely sabotaged to fail by his own team... bloody genius

This poll is about the upcoming season, not last season. It seems like half the people commenting have ignored the OP's question and want to just point to the fact that Gagner has scored more points before.
You can ignore the unusual circumstances around Kyle Turris and the past couple of seasons and act like he's a bust but he still has a lot of skill and will be given every chance to succeed in Ottawa.
It's not like Gagner is expected to crack 100 points this year. It would be great if he hit a 60 point pace, which is also in the realm of possibility for Turris.
How does one come to this conclusion? Its not like Turris was in the AHL until now developing. Gagners numbers have been increasing year over year
Gagner has played almost twice as many games in his career. I believe we have seen what Gagner can do. He's a good player. Turris, for a variety of reasons (some his own), has not had the chance in the NHL Gagner has had. I think once Turris plays a full season for a team that uses him properly, he shows he is overall a better player.

Well up until last year Turris was never really given an opportunity to show his skills. And he did so at ppg pace just below Gagner. Turris has shown progress since entering the league. Statistically Sam Gagner has not since his rookie year.
Odd that a top two-way forward doesn't even kill penalties. Someone should let Paul McLean know that he's got a Martin Hanzal clone wasting away on the bench.
Heck, I'm not even much of a Sam Gagner fan, but this is an easy decision. He's superior offensively and, since Kyle Turris is certainly not a defensive ace, the defensive difference is negligble.
Playing PK isn't a necessity to be a good defensive player. Especially when you have a plethora of jim obriens, eric condras etc that wouldn't get any ice time if they didn't kill penalties...but keep talking like you understand what's going on...
I think it's extremely fair to say gagner has proven more in the NHL. You'd have to be an idiot to say he hasn't. So edmonton fans are right there.
What makes people say turris, is going forward, he has more raw, natural,talent...for example, gagner wishes he had turris shot...Now don't go posting all these gagner goals...but i need to post these 2 shots for people who haven't seen how good turris' shot is. I would say his release is BEST ON THE SENS....better then spezza,alfredsson,michalek, karlsson etc...look at this release. So quick.

Is that how statistics work? You're allowed to take out the biggest outlier in a situation to make them seem more favourable to your argument? Did you know that if you take away Los Angeles' cup win in '12, they have never won the cup?!?! :O Picking and choosing which data is used is the best way to prove to everyone that you have no clue what you're talking about.

I showed Gagner's untouched ppg as the main part of my argument.
If your talking about not using Turris's 4th line yotes games, why do those games matter?

I get what you're saying and all...but in material and data management for businesses, they actually remove the outliers of their samples...Which is basically what he did.
You're both right. He's doing it to make his argument look better, however it isn't as random to remove outliers as you think. In several cases, it can provider a clearer picture.
Just letting you know as you may not have known this. Carry on.
bloody genius
