Following the Nicklas Grossmann and Chris Pronger trade, speculation is that the Flyers would buy out their newly-acquired forward from Arizona. Should they?
Somewhat lost in the Saturday post-draft pandemonium of the Flyers getting rid of Nicklas Grossmann and Chris Pronger's contract was the acquisition of forward Sam Gagner. Gagner, a former sixth overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers who turns 26 this summer, spent seven years with Edmonton before being dealt twice last summer and ending up in Arizona. He's never quite lived up to what was expected of him as a top-10 pick, but he's always been at worst a productive NHL forward.
