Earlier today, Elliotte Friedman tweeted out that the Canucks have decided to waive the 29 year old native of London, Ontario.
Gagner is a former first round pick and a 11 season NHL veteran. He was selected in the first round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers and spent seven seasons in Northern Alberta. After his long tenure with the Oilers, he bounced around from team to team. He spent time with the Arizona Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Philadelphia Flyers and the Cancuks.
This past season was a rough one for Gagner and it looks like he’ll be re-surfacing on a new team this season.
