I bet that was his reaction, since playing in the NHL is what every player wants, but it’s not ours.
Gagner, on loan with the Marlies since just before the season began, is second on the team in points with seven goals and eight assists in 15 games played. He has been playing second line centre behind Chris Mueller, the points leader, after a brief trial at wing on Mueller’s line.
The Marlies are most limited in centre options. They have Mueller to man the top spot, Adam Brooks, who just returned to action after some health issues, Adam Cracknell, who was recently injured, and sometime fill-in Colin Greening.
