| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: 2008-09: Gagnon seized a regular spot in the lineup over the second half with his speed and determination. He picked up his offense, netting 14 points in the second half, but it was his defensive work that got him playing time. The hustling forward was a regular on the penalty kill, and centered a fourth line known for its aggressive forecheck. Aaron will be moving on next season, joining the Stars new affiliate in Austin.
Summer 2008: Gagnon needs to prove he can be an everyday player at the AHL level, but he does have the tools to do it. He plays in a variety of roles and has some leadership to boot. If he can't beat out a player in GR he will most likely be loaned out to the ECHL again. |
