Somebody asked (about Gagne's availability) a week or so ago, and there was no chance then, because he hadn't even skated with the team. All you do is improve your (chances). You go from zero to whatever.\" Gagne would seem like an unlikely insertion into the lineup given the Kings' run so far this postseason, but he could work his way back into the lineup if the Kings fall behind in the series or one of the regulars sustains an injury.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Simon Gagne","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If Gagne is over the neck injury that has plagued him for several seasons now, he is primed for a big season with the Los Angeles Kings. He will have a role in an exceptional top-six forward group and get time on the power play. There is even a chance he lines up with former teammate Mike Richards. Though Gagne had an injury-troubled first half of the season that kept his scoring down, he showed flashes of his former self down the stretch last season. After the All-Star break, Gagne had 27 points in 30 games, and he had 12 points in 15 games during the playoffs. If he can bring that swagger to the Kings' lineup, he may just be getting back toward his former 40-goal ways. ","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"positionRank":72}
