TSN’s Bob McKenzie broke the news.

Gagner is in the second of a three-year deal worth $9.45 million, and he was on loan to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies. He had three points in seven games for the Canucks during the regular season. Now, Gagner gets a fresh start on a team where he spent his first seven NHL seasons.
