Gagne to Tampa Bay

[leaffan]

According to twitter Gagne to Tampa is a done deal.

The source is Eklund so it could be totally wrong.

[leaffan]

BTW hoping that he gets sent to some other team totally opposite of the lightning just because I'd love to lol @ eklund.

If its true. The lol's are already coming in:

Please, for the love of Twitter, do not RT Eklund.

It would be a great move on Yzerman's part. Imagine a top 6 of:

Downie - Stamkos - St. Louis
Malone - Lecavalier - Gagne

It isn't the greatest but there is lots of fire power there. If Dan Ellis can play well and the defense holds up they should be a playoff contender this year.

Flyers source confirms Simon Gagne has indeed been traded to Tampa Bay. Waiting to hear on the return. 13 minutes ago via web

Fuck. Why couldn't Yzerman wait to accept the Senators job for 1 more year...

[Senators26]

Apparently it's Mike Smith for Simon Gagne.

Edit: It's actually Gagne for Matt Walker and a 4th round pick.

[leaffan]

Done deal: defenseman Matt Walker and a 4th round pick come back for Simon Gagne.

If thats true well GG Yzerman.

Tampa still has 16mil to spend too. They have 17 players signed haha.

They are also on an internal cap. If they can get the owner to lift that once they become a playoff team, they can be deadly.

[Senators26]

Flyersfan, you're not going to win with an entire bottom 6 of toughness.

Your team got fleeced, admit it.

Oh, and by the way.. Matt Walker is a defenseman.. who is much worse than the 6 you already have.

[Senators26]

gagne is an expiring contract making over 5mil and its probably gonna cost 6mil per to resign him. oh well.

A 1 million dollar raise isn't that big a raise..

[leaffan]

ok, i need a tampa bay fan to answer this question for me.

who is gonna do your enforcing this year? please hope to god its not downie and malone. you guys are weak as fuck when it comes to toughness now. konopka was let go, walker is now on the toughest team in the league, by far. so yeah, have fun. but ill admit this, the south division is WEAK in terms of toughness. FLA has nobody, CAR has nobody, WAS has nobody and ATL has boulton, eager, thorburn. so yeah. maybe tampa is becoming detroit east.


the flyers have officially put the rest of the NHL on notice that we arent fucknig around this year. Shelley, OD, now walker added to lappy, pronger, hartnell, richards, and my boy carcillo. we gonna be taking names and handing out beatdowns this year.

Colton Orr says: Don't be a bitch philly and send someone to fight me this year.

[Senators26]

Gagne, 2nd round pick for Meszaros, Walker, and a 4th.

Sound fair?




















LOL

[Boss AZ]

What a horrible return for Philly. Sure they couldn't take salary back but I don't believe that a better player couldn't be had at a low cap hit.

[Senators26]

Jody Shelley is going to make 1.1 million to fight people?

AWESOME. I love Paul Holmgren.

Matt Walker makes 1.7... LOL
