Sam Gagner Oilers avoid arbitration with three-year 14.4 million deal

More NHL offseason: | | | | Just before and the entered an arbitration hearing, the two sides agreed John Franklin-Myers Jersey to a new contract without the help of the mediators to keep the forward in Edmonton.The contract, as announced by the Oilers, is for three seasons. According to it is worth $14.4 million, or $4.8 million per season. Per Ryan Rishaug, the deal also includes . When you consider Gagner was going and it eats up two of his unrestricted free-agency years, that' Michael Carter Jersey s a pretty good deal for the Oilers. If he were to get to the open market he probably would have been able to command a little more so eating up those two UFA Jamien Sherwood Jersey years at $4.8 million per looks awfully nice. At the same time they are paying a guy who hasn't had 50 points in a season more than he should get.Gagner is still young, although it feels like he has been around forever, and started to hit another gear in the lockout-shortened 2013 season. He had 14 goals and 24 a sists in the 48 games, numbers that put him on pace to go well above his career highs Saquan Hampton Jersey . Gagner was selected sixth overall by the Oilers in the 2007 draft, sticking with the big club since he was drafted. He seems pretty happy to have a new deal.So happy to remain an Edmonton Oiler for at least three more years. Thanks to everyone for the support. Time to get Isaiah Dunn Jersey to work.
