[EDM/ARI] Oilers Acquire Henrik Samuelsson for Mitch Moroz

Great trade imo. Both aren't doing well in the AHL.

EDIT: but I have more hope for Samuelsson than I ever did for Moroz.

Moroz for Samuelsson

Duplicate. Delete

 

[Pointteen]

Probably for the best.
But I don't have high hopes for either.

 

[Faelko]

Yay?

Wait, does this mean that MacT DOES have pull still? Haha

 

[Grey Poupon*]

Awesome! We didn't need another meathead. We needed a punchable agitator! Here's hoping he can antagonize Tkachuk! We just got a former 1st rounder. Celebrate, guys!

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

As a big Henrik Samuelsson fan, I am beyond pumped.

Lol, why did Arizona do this? Are Moroz's underlying stats that good?!?! This defies all logic... Maybe this is a friendly kick-back for the Rieder trade?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Man that Memorial Cup team hasn't produced any NHLers, has it.

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Good trade, Moroz won't amount to anything and at least Samuelsson has been able to produce a little bit at the AHL level.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Samuelson was a beast in junior. Pro production has dried up, but I have more faith in him than Moroz.

Nice deal, for as small as it is.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I really don't know why this organization insists on former Oil Kings.


>_<


I guess we got the better Oil King? But uggh. WHYYY?? This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Biggest problem with Samuelsson has been injuries.

His production has dipped these last couple of years, but he had some big injuries to deal with.

 

[Weitz]

Doubt either ever have an NHL career. Nothing trade really.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very nice!

If anything it gives you a bit more centre depth in Bakersfield considering both Lander and Khaira are up with the big team.

 

[duul]

Big body with skill. Injuries obviously derailed him quite a bit. I think with a couple years of development injury-free and a change of scenery he could become an NHLer some day. He has the tools.

 

[Grey Poupon*]

My favourite part of this trade?

6'3
209 lbs
Right Shot
Natural RW'er

65 GP, 35G, 95 PTS in his last year of junior
68 GP, 18G, 40PTS in his rookie year in the AHL, point-per-game player in the playoffs

Doesn't matter if not a lot of guys like this. We got a former 1st rounder for a prospect with little to no NHL prospects. This trade has given the Oilers some upside.

Could be because Moroz sucks and has zero chance at an NHL future and Samuelsson sucks slightly less with a slightly higher chance at an NHL future.

Who gives a **** where he played in junior? This trade is irrelevant, and any trade involving Moroz alone was going to be irrelevant.

 

[McDNicks17]

Samuelsson played less games for the Oil Kings, so he's less of an Oil King therefore we lost the trade.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

This guy came on my limo for my high school grad. Guy was a ****ing BEAST in the dub. Hope he finds some success!

 

[oXo Cube]

So how many of them are left out there?

Lazar might as well start looking for somewhere to live in Edmonton.

 

[bone]

Not much to see here. It is probably a case where both teams had decided that they weren't going to re-sign their guy next year, so trade them and see if a change in scenery kick starts them and convinces the new team to sign them to a contract.

[BoldNewLettuce]

worst case Ontario he can get a cup of coffee and then disappear into the ahl.

ideally our 3rd line right draw.

Nice deal, for as small as it is.

This is exactly how I feel. Don't have many expectations for Samuelsson, but I definitely see more in him than Moroz. Hopefully he turns it around with us.
