Sammy being healthy and playing like he looks healthy on the ice are two different things. Sammy is healthy enough to bag my groceries, but he isn't healthy enough to be a productive NHL player.
I might have guessed otherwise, given all of the Hudler hate on this board. I wonder how many people who said "Sammy>Hudler" are sticking with that position right now?
For reference:
Hudler: 41GP, 10-16-26, 56 shots, 17.9s%
Samuelsson: 4GP, 0-1-1, 4 shots, 0.0s%.

I don't think there's a person on the planet that said Samuelsson was better than Hudler.

Must be, because I really don't recall anyone saying that.
I remember saying the contract was better. The talent level is not even close. Hudler skates slow circles around him.

Samuelsson is a CLEAR upgrade over Hudler.
Yeah, I'll take Sammy over Hudler.
Good news is Hudler will be overpaid by someone else
Signing him with that cap hit today is slightly better than it was when he left last time. With the news regarding being out of the Parise running, I can stomach this. It also IMO seals Hudler's departure.
Sammy>Hudler was said often by many... most notably by fabricoh.
I'd still take Sammy over Hudler. Shorter contract and he fit the team need better.
If you sign Hudler at 4x4 you're basically saying he's in the top 6 until 2017. And I don't think that's wise with Nyquist and Tatar ready to take over. Sammy, on the other hand, will either be injured or gone shortly. So there we go.
He can't get hurt again if he doesn't play...
If he was healthy, Nyquist would be in the AHL all year.
Hudler is a first-line forward in the NHL right now. He has outplayed Franzen for two consecutive seasons. Not sure why you don't want him in the top-six.
I like 22, and I think he could be valuable if we were actually using him. But I don't think 7 min a game is worth keeping Sammy out of the lineup for.
Brilliant GM'img by Holland. That means he has the foresight to know injuries take place and values depth in case that happens.
