Quick Hits: The Dreams Ahead Edition Share this story “I feel like I can help a young group,” Gagner said. “I’ve been through that process before and learned a lot about myself as years have gone on about what works and what doesn’t, and I feel like I can help. “The big thing is I feel like I’m a good player in this league and I want the opportunity to continue to play as long as I can, and I’ve really enjoyed it here and everything that has gone on.” In terms of team balance, Detroit is going to continue to be a young team that needs a few key veterans to help out. As it stands right now we probably have too many of them, but I really like Gagner’s hustle and attitude. I definitely wouldn’t mind him having the opportunity to fill a role I think should be as competitive as the youth roles.
