National News Source:Bleacher Report - Edmonton Oilers - February 8 10:32 PM MST
The question is in the title: Did Sam Gagner sell his soul to the devil?Not the ones from New Jersey, I mean the real one. The one with the pitch fork, hooves and pointed tail. At 22 years old, Sam Gagner is already in his fifth NHL season—which stands testament to the skill level expected out of him from the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers drafted Gagner with their first pick—sixth overall before the start of the 2007-08 season. In his first four seasons, Gagner, much like his team&mdas... Read More »
