Boston Bruins set to offer former Edmonton Oilers forward a contract?
35-year-old forward Sam Gagner is looking forward to playing his 18th season in the NHL. However, he will first have to secure a spot in a team's lineup. He recently played with the Edmonton Oilers in 2023-2024, playing his third stint with the team, along with his 17th NHL season there.
However, the forward isn't ready to hang 'em up yet, as he has many PTO offers to consider, as he told Edmonton Oilers reporter Jim Matheson.
He secured a spot in the AHL, after playing on a PTO during training camp with the Edmonton Oilers last season. He would only play 28 games in the NHL, scoring 10 points, with 10:13 TOI per game.
Only two seasons prior did he play 81 games for the Detroit Red Wings, scoring 31 goals( 13 G, 18 A) with 13:37 TOI per night.
He may not return to Edmonton for a fourth stint, but he remains a commodity to be attained with many PTO offers on the table.
He has played 564 games with the Edmonton Oilers, scoring 327 points, but has also suited up for the Arizona Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks. In 1,043 NHL games played he has scored 529 points.
He was coincidentally the 6th overall pick in the 2007 draft by the Oilers.
Should the Bruins offer Gagner a PTO and see if he can win a bottom-six spot on the roster?
