the massage therapy over there is superb, so I hear
this is good news, but seriously, do people really believe he is the one to put us back on track? not so long back he was being torn apart on here. I like him but I have my doubts he will have the impact being expected from him by many on here.

It's not 7.5 per year, Kesler's at 5 million and Malhotra's at 2.5 million

Well Demitra is better at passing and has a better shot than Samuelsson, so I dont see why he wouldn't make our second line better. Samuelsson is much more suited in a third line role. He'll still get his powerplay time, which is where he gets most of his goals anyways.

I don't think he is the solution, but we are better with him than without him. Personally I think putting him at center on the 3rd line with Bernier and Glass would be awesome. Or on the Second line with Kes and Ray moving Sammy to the third and glass to the fouth.
Think of it this way. He replaces Hordichuk or Wellwood. How is that not good?

With Kesler and Raymond? Kinda too slow for that line no?
Put him on the 3rd line with Bernier and Samuelsson? That might be a good choice.
I definitely would put Demitra with Raymond and Kesler. He has the skill set that we need to make plays and put the puck in the back of the net.
And in my opinion Samuelsson is just as slow if not slower than Demitra.

Oh I 100% agree, I much rather have someone like Grabner (when he's healthy again) back on that line. But Demitra's play seemed to be somewhat dispassionate last season, so I'm not sure if he'd be able to keep up intensity wise with that line.
At least Samuelsson is willing to throw hits and forecheck hard along the boards.
