Sam Gagner will remain a Philadelphia Flyer; no buyout or trade coming

Gagner will be a Flyer next season.

It certainly seemed like Sam Gagner was going to get bought out when, the other day, Ron Hextall was totally non-committal about his future with the organization.

Acquired in the deal that saw Nicklas Grossmann and The Ghost of Chris Pronger head to Arizona, Gagner was the leading scorer among forwards on a bad Coyotes team last year -- yet even still, their general manager told the media that they didn't see him as an NHL player.

The Flyers must see him as an NHL player, however, because despite the cap savings they would see if they were to buy him out, they're keeping him around.
