Man Enough To Admit I Am Wrong - Gagne Goes To Tampa
Woops!
Earlier today, I reported that Simon Gagne was going to be a Los Angeles King. And of course, I was wrong. RDS, a French Canadian sports site, as well as TSN, are reporting that Simon Gagne has infact been dealt to the Tampa Bay Lightning for defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth round draft pick in 2011.
Aside from cost cutting, this is a terrible move. In Tampa, Steve Yzerman is doing cartwheels in his office after being able to get rid of this guy. Last season, he played 66 games, recorded a whopping five points and was a minus 11 for the year.
Walker has bounced from team to team, shuttling between the NHL and the AHL. He's never played a full season, and he's never had more than 14 points total in a season, unless you count the Western League, where he had 23. Walker makes 1.7 million dollars, so the Flyers have managed to get their cap into the black, with $900,000 to spare.
More details to come...
