The Edmonton Oilers and forward Sam Gagner have avoided arbitration after agreeing to terms on a three-year deal worth $14.4 million. The average annual value of the deal is $4.8 million, and contains both no-trade and no-movement clauses for the second year of the package. "So happy to remain an Edmonton Oiler for at least three more years," Gagner tweeted. "Thanks to everyone for the support. Time to get to work." Gagner will earn $4.4 million next season and will be paid $5 million in each of the last two seasons of the deal. The two sides reached the agreement just hours before they were scheduled to go before an arbitrator on Monday. Last season, Gagner scored 14 goals and added 24 assists for 38 points in 48 games. The London, Ontario native was drafted by the Oilers sixth overall in the 2007 Draft.Vapormax Damen Sale .

The Taipans gave up an average 86.33 points per game during their opening three losses, but that has dropped to 71.66 in their wins.Cairns now own the third-best defensive rating in the league, giving up an average of 79 points, behind only Perth Wildcats (77.85) and Sydney Kings (76.12).Superstars CollideCataclysmic events are a rare occurrence but thats what we saw in Perth, where two MVP front-runners squared off and put their case forward for the award.Adelaides Jerome Randle and Perths Casey Prather have shown all season that theyre a notch above the rest, and they shone brightest yet again in Round 5.Randle finished the game with 40 points, shooting an impressive 60.9 percent from the floor, and nine assists just to go along.
