Oilers Re-Sign Sam Gagner to Two-Year Contract

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that they have re-signed center Sam Gagner to a two-year contract worth $4.55 million. The deal averages out to $2.275 million per season. In 68 games last season with Edmonton, he had 15 goals and 26 assists for 41 points. He missed 14 games last season with lower body, left knee, and hip injuries. Not a bad signing for the Oilers, as Gagner is good offensively and has lots of upside. He is also a great passer, good in shootouts, and is versatile, in that he can also play on the wing. He will likely fill a top-six role on the team next season.
