Scouting Report
The son of former NHL forward Dave Gagner is long removed from the player who once registered EIGHT points in a game (in 2012). He still has good hands, very good offensive moves and vision in his mid-30s. Can help on both special teams. Lacks the overall game to earn major minutes. Smallish, he is also not physical and does not win a lot of puck battles. Can be useful as a mentor to younger forwards.
Long Range Potential: Versatile veteran forward.
