Gagner has been informed by the Flyers that the team intends to keep him on the roster, CSN Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio reports.

Analysis:

Gagner was acquired via trade over the weekend, and the initial expectation was that he would be bought out by the Flyers. However, it appears neither a buyout nor a trade is in the works; thus, Gagner will likely spend this coming season with the Flyers, and he could quite reasonably work his way into top-six ice time eventually, particularly if he's used on the wing rather than at center.
