Gagner's time in Oilers silk is done

Does he stay or does he go? That is ultimately the question when it comes to Edmonton Oilers centre Sam Gagner. After seven years in the National Hockey League it appears as though the former sixth overall pick and the organization have reached a crossroads in their relationship.
It has become painfully obvious, even to the staunchest of Gagner supporters, that a one-two punch of #89 and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is one that simply doesn’t work in today’s NHL.

MacT will be a busy man this summer

With the NHL Trade Deadline roughly two weeks away, you can bet Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish is a busy man. While he has his fair share of pending unrestricted free agents to move at the deadline, the best of the bunch being Ales Hemsky, rumours surrounding the possible departure of Sam Gagner won’t go away.

So what is #89 really worth?

So it has finally come to this for Sam Gagner and the Edmonton Oilers. While it may or may not come to fruition during tonight’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins, it looks as though #89 could be headed for a twirl or two on the right wing in the not too distant future.
