ok it is a UFA signing, but oh well.
The affect it will have on my BRHL team I think will only be positive. Philly has a lot less depth now than they did in the last nhl season and much of their force comes down the middle in the form of Forsberg, Handzus, Primeau, and Carter with only really guys like Kapanen, Radivojecvic, the biggest benefactor of all time Knuble on the wings. The one trully skilled winger on that team now with Amonte, Recchi, and LeClair are gone is Gagne. I think he will play with Knuble and most importatnly Forsberg and will put up huge points this season getting prime ice time and PP time. He will be one of the most heavily played wingers in the league IMO and his abilities in his own end will be recognised more.
I believe that Gagne is more talented than Tanguay and look what playing with Peter did for him, Im thinking he might re-rate with the best offensive stats of any SJ forward this year............though Nagy, Samsonov, Mario, and Arnott may have something to say about that.

and to top it all off Chistov, who was one of the key pieces to the Gagne trade to SJ, bolted to Russia for the year with no out-clause.
