2gingers1cup Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 what do you guys think of this guy? he is the son of the famous Ulf Samuelsson. he plays like his dad. hits hard, works hard, big body, except he is a forward. he plays in the WHL for the edmonton oil kings. over a ppg in the playoffs currently. could be a milan lucic type. i wouldn't mind seeing the canucks use their 1st round pick on him. a little high, maybe, but gillis and co like their swedes and he will for sure be gone by the early second round. maybe we can trade down?

c00kies Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Interesting. If he is as good as you are making him out to be, he might be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil HD Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I didn't know Henrik Sedin and Mikael Samuelsson could do the fusion dance! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x52flp_dragonball-z-goku-shows-vegeta-the_shortfilms Or maybe it's the fusion earrings, seeing as how their height and weight are very different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Canucky Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hes a bit out of control though... hes been suspended 4 or 5 times. Hes officially labeled a "repeat offender" doesn't matter how good you are if you're suspended... heres a link that shows a cross check to the face @ 10 seconds in (in a WHL final game.)... http://www.winterhaw...66d96dfbb6131d5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Phaneuf Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 discipline is something you can teach (AV has done wonders with lapierre, kesler, burrows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Canucky Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 true enough i guess. I know im a different guy than i was as a teen. Maturity and experience could likely help the kid out, but i would at least consider the fact that he MAY be a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Him or Martin Frk would be a tough choice. But in the end I think I would take Samuelsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Get him and Mikael back. Put them on the PP with the Sedins Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Henrik Samuelsson Mikael Samuelsson - __________ It'll drive commentators crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You can include Kassian as well. AV's solution for him is to keep his ass planted on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre4life Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I hoping buffalo can get him . You guys should look at tom wilson him and kassian on the same team wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 he looks like a hell of a player from what i seen in the memorial cup so far.. seems to have hands and playmaking ability. i think these guys that play over the edge in junior but show hockey sense and skill are more than worth taking a chance on, even using a high draft pick because the upside they have is huge. looking at our situation, if we develop kassian into a good player then he is going to be the perfect mentor to this kid. if kassian busts (i dont think he will) we still have another solid power forward with an edge prospect.. if both of them pan out to their potential then we will be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs. when is he projected to go in the draft?
