REPORT: Oilers To Bring In 1000 Game Journeyman

The Oilers will be bringing a 1,000-game journeyman who could slot into their bottom six if he earns a contract.

Recent reports have surfaced stating that Sam Gagner will be returning to the Edmonton Oilers on a Professional Try Out.

The Oilers initially drafted Gagner 6th overall back in 2007 and throughout his 1,015-game career, he has played 542 games with the Oilers.

Gagner has plenty of rapport with the Oilers so they know exactly what they are getting when they bring him in.

Coming off of a down year where he only scored 14 points in 48 games, Gagner will need to bounce back at 34 years old if he wants to prove himself worthy of a contract.

If not, this may be the end of his NHL career.
