Sam Gagner has almost certainly been made available for trade by Flyers GM Ron Hextall. But why would a team give up assets for a player that could have plucked off the waiver wire for free just two months ago?
Acquired in the trade that sent Nicklas Grossmann and the contract of Chris Pronger to the Arizona Coyotes, Sam Gagner has produced a season that can only be called disappointing. He's failed to gain the trust of Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol, and his production (three goals and five assists in 30 games) has been underwhelming at best.
