Awesome... I called it 2 days ago and again yesterday. Demo and Kesler can dish it up for this sniper - he's a shooter kids. No need for Sundin now. MG needs to spend the $$ on an offensive D-man and we're set.

:lol:

I just checked out his stats from the Canucks main page - this guy loves to shoot the puck! He has averaged over 250 shots per year the last two seasons.

Linky

Could just be a Detroit thing... because they shoot the puck from just about anywhere.

Nice signing. This guy was stuck behind the top 2 lines in Det so he should up his points this season with more minutes here.

Sweden++

Has great post season experience also.

I am calling 3 year - 6M deal, 2M per year.

If that's true, that's a pretty good deal. Samuelsson has the potential to put up even bigger numbers if he gets more ice time.

Time for our amazing Paralympic atheletes to shine.

He was not being paid much in Detroit, so I figure we signed him for not a lot.

"My Assistant" isn't working, and I'm not sure where I posted this, but this is the one guy I said I really wanted to get. He is obviously being brought in to work with the Sedins - and I think he might be a great fit. We'll see.

Very excited.

Samuelsson played with the Twins for Team Sweden a few years back...I think he will get a shot with them.

Had to get another swede to replace ohlund! Now come on back mats!!!

I was wrong. The Sedins are legit superstars and are IRREPLACEABLE.
Common Myths:
1. A 2 way contract means you can be sent down without clearing waivers. False - All it means is you get paid an ahl salary if sent down and has nothing to do with waivers.
2. You can buyout a player any time during the year. False - There's a specific buyout period window when teams are allowed to buyout players.
3. Sending a rookie down before they played 10 nhl games saves a year on their entry level contract. False - This only applies to CHL players like hodgson who aren't 20 yet and not to players like Shirokov.

True, but it looks like he averaged about 16-17 minutes a game in Detroit Rock City - that's a lot of shots for that kind of ice-time.

He was on the 3rd line, got 12-15 minutes a game, and he can play the point on the PP. He had 7 PP goals last year. I really, really like this signing. Never doubted Gillis.

he has played the point on the powerplay for detroit and had been used mostly on a line with filppula and hudler. he loves to shoot the puck usually 3-9 per game and could be a good fit maybe second line with kesler

Interesting. Another 3rd liner.

Well, not the sniper everyone was hoping for, but a hard working 2-way player who has some size. What amazes me is last year he had 257 SOG and only scored 19 times. He is a little soft.

I imagine they'll be working with him as they will be with Bernier on burying his chances. He's certainly not afraid of shooting the puck.

Maybe they can find a role for him in the top 6.

Overall, I like it.

Busy cultivating useless good taste.

SUNDIN IS COMING. LOOK BUSY.

QUOTE (Dirtbag#1 @ Nov 3 2008, 11:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

We're pretty much where I'd thought we'd be - out of the playoffs and no Demitra in the lineup. Coming in to this season anyone with a brain would be able to recognize that this isn't a playoff team, and they're performing just as I suspected they would.

I wonder why club policy is not to release financial terms? I mean, we find out eventually, so why make the public wait in the first place?
