• Sam Gagner: Cut loose from PTO

  10/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Carolina released Gagner on Sunday from his professional tryout agreement, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports. Gagner chipped in five goals and five assists in 28 games with Edmonton during the 2023-24 regular season. There isn't much time left before the 2024-25 campaign begins for most teams, so he may have to settle for an AHL contract before aiming for a two-way agreement.

• Hurricanes' Sam Gagner: Secures tryout

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gagner will take part in training camp with Carolina on a professional tryout agreement, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Tuesday. Gagner saw action in just 28 regular-season games for the Oilers last year and was a healthy scratch throughout the postseason. If he does earn a full NHL contract coming out of camp, he figures to slot into a fourth-line role and could find himself periodically serving as a healthy scratch. As such, Gagner is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value this season.
