The Red Wings have signed Sam Gagner to a one-year, $850k contract extension.

Gagner was acquired midseason from the Oilers as a part of the Andreas Athanasiou deal and he scored one goal in six games. The veteran won't be a fantasy asset in 2021 but will help be a mentor in the room, play a bottom-6 role and see some power-play time.

The Red Wings have acquired Sam Gagner, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick from the Oilers for Andreas Athanasiou and Ryan Kuffner.

Edmonton is also retaining 10% of Gagner's salary. Gagner performed admirably when called upon this season, compiling five goals and seven assists in 36 games. A potential top-six role in Detroit could help Gagner get back to double-digit goals, a mark he's reached 10 times in his 13-year career.

The Oilers have acquired Sam Gagner from the Canucks for Ryan Spooner.

Gagner was originally drafted by the Oilers back in 2007 and played seven seasons and 481 career games with Edmonton. The 29-year-old has only appeared in seven NHL games with Vancouver this season and has picked up 12 goals and 25 assists (37 points) in 43 AHL games while on loan with the Marlies. He is expected to report to the Oilers on Saturday.

Gagner will make his season debut on Monday.

Gagner has picked up seven goals and eight assists while on a loan with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) and will make his season debut after being called up on Sunday. Gagner had 31 points (10G / 21A) in 74 games last year, so he has some offensive ability left in the tank.
