NHL insider shuts down a major rumour in Edmonton
In 2013, Sam Gagner's dad, Dave Gagner, became a player agent after leaving the Vancouver Canucks as Director Of Cooperate Scouting.
Nonetheless, as Ken Holland's time with the Oilers draws to a close, rumors are everywhere.
There were rumors that the father of current Oilers forward Sam Gagner would be the next to take on the position.
Gagner, an agent with Wasserman Hockey Agency, was initially linked to the Oilers by Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun.
After all the talk, Elliote Friedman of the 32 Thoughts Podcast shut down the rumor today, stating that Gagner is not interested. In an interview with Hockey Night in Canada, Friedman confirmed the news.

People speculated that Ken Holland might be gone during the season given that the Oilers fired Jay Woodcroft earlier in the season. However, this has not been the case.
He played 946 NHL games and scored 318 goals and 719 points in his career. He is the father of Oiler Sam Gagner. His NHL career ended with the Vancouver Canucks during the 1998-1999 season after playing for several NHL organizations.
He has 25 NHL contracts, including those with Connor Brown, Quinton Byfield, Alex DeBrincat, and Evan Bouchard.
