The Edmonton Oilers made some solid moves this summer, and one thing they utilized well was the PTO, one of which they used on Sam Gagner, and now, the veteran forward remains with the organization. <h2>A veteran, depth move</h2> <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/327812.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> Despite not making the NHL roster out of training camp, Gagner clearly liked what he saw in Edmonton, as he has now officially inked a deal with their AHL team, the Bakersfield Condors for this season. The Condors have signed winger Sam Gagner to an AHL deal. He will wear 89 in #Condorstown. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Condors/status/1716485126178349161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1716485126178349161%7Ctwgr%5Ef3c398ee9f9b9c209ef491a0035259e83199ef6b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bladeofsteel.com%2FLongtime-NHL-forward-inks-AHL-contract-for-2023-24-season-290827'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Plenty of great experience</h2> The 34-year old was last seen playing for the Winnipeg Jets a season ago where he tallied 14 points in 48 games, and he'll now bring over 1,000 NHL games of experience to this AHL squad. Whether or not he makes the NHL roster, only time will tell, but for now, the story of a solid veteran continues, and with the way the Oilers have performed early in the season, there's definitely a chance he can make this team in 2023-24.
