Does anyone else think Gagne will never return to his dominating self again?? I don't think he will be shut down effective again, but I still he can be good.

I think his 3 year span of abuseing Roids caught up with him. :whistling: If he can stay healthy, he could be productive. But based on the past 2 years that's a huge "If"

All the experts had him going to Boston, but then a few days ago Boston stopped talking to him because his price got too high.Guess there is always someone willing to pay for former greatness.
