What a warrior. This guy's gonna be a monster when we finally get to the playoffs, isn't he?

Who knows when that's gonna be. He might be retired by then.

I wonder if we could VGK to send us Whitecloud for him and a third?

Why would we be adding? Samuelsson, while injured.....is a better player when healthy. And Sammy's contract isn't that out of whack at all.

Samuelson is an average bottom pair guy who is overpaid. When healthy, which isn’t often, he brings no offense and the same defense as Ryjo. We need a 3 C . We may need to add for a team take on that contract with his injury history.

If Samuelsson played anything like Johnson, he likely wouldn't be injured.
