Sam Ganger spent his first seven years throughout the NHL in an Oilers jersey, making a name for himself while putting up consistent numbers. During the 2012-13 season came Sam Ganger's best game ever, making him one of thirteen NHL players to ever record an 8-point game. He also tied two Oilers legends, Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey for most points in an Oilers game EVER!

Ganger is still playing in Canada with the Winnipeg Jets, having a 3rd line role while posting up solid numbers. You have to wonder if when the 33-year old decides to retire, if he'll possibly be interested in doing so with the Oilers on a one-year term.
