Any concerns about his long-term health? From everything I read it sounds like he got a concussion in the Flordia game but the team mis-diagnosised it. He came back about 10 days later vs. Pittsburgh when he still wasn\'t at a 100% and suffered what is suspected as another concussion after taking a hit by Roberts.

2 concussions in that short of a time frame has me worried. Is he damaged goods now? I\'m actually in the middle of trade talks with a GM and Gagne is part of what he\'s offering me. I\'m really uncertain if Gagne can return to the level he was at before these injuries.

Sure there are concerns - and we won\'t know until he hits the ice and gets some games in. If you take him - make damn sure you don\'t pay alot and play on the risk factor. I am hoping he will be okay but only time will tell.

Even without the concussions, Gagne gets hurt a lot. I would never own him on my team long term. If I ever acquired him it would be with the express purpose of trading him right away.
