A day after Sam Gagner's agent said his client was getting closer to signing a new deal, the unrestricted free agent appears to have made a decision.
Gagner and the Columbus Blue Jackets are closing in on a one-year contract, according to Aaron Portzline of the Post-Dispatch.
The deal is believed to be one-way in nature, despite the fact Gagner spent some time down in the AHL during one of the least productive seasons of his career.
Gagner had 8-8-16 in 53 games with #Flyers last season, including his first stint in #AHL.

The 26-year-old is averaging 0.57 points per game for his career, the majority of which was spent in Edmonton prior to seasons with Arizona and Philadelphia, respectively.
