Sam Gagner
Although there’s been no official transaction yet, it appears the visa issues are close to being resolved. In the post-game press conference versus the Jets, Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft was asked about Sam Gagner and said that they are looking to send him down to Bakersfield shortly. We’ll see what becomes official soon.*

Speaking of bad media…..
Watch Draisaitl’s response to an incredibly stupid and ignorant question from Mark Spector of Sportsnet. I recognized his voice, as he’s been part of the media scrum in Edmonton for years.
Draisaitl was justifiably and visibly annoyed by Spector’s stupid question regarding talking to Stuart Skinner about his botched puck retrieval that led in part to the tying goal. (A defensive miscue by Darnell Nurse started it.)
If you watch his answer, Draisaitl is 100 percent correct. Everyone makes mistakes, and players piling on other players when they make mistakes has no upside.
Epic fail from Mark Spector there.
* Editor’s note – This post was written prior to the Oilers and Condors officially confirming the signing of Gagner. As per Oil on Whyte’s Devon Hladunewich, this is a win-win for the player and the organization.
