Nice addition here for the Jackets. Gagner still has game.

Yeah. Absurd the contracts guys like him and Matt Carle are getting.

I would imagine in the next CBA the PA will be looking at some kind of limit on entry level contracts per roster or something. More and more lately, solid veteran players are getting screwed over because teams go with cheap entry-level players to save cap space.
