he will be getting more ice time and play a bigger role with the canucks, I have a feeling his stats will get better not worse.

I'm happy with the signing.. now if Sundin signs for relatively cheap, We will be fine..
Samuelsson/Sedin/Sedin
Demitra/Sundin/Kesler
Burrows/Wellwood(if he signs)/Hodgson/Grabner
Rypien/Johnson/Hordichuk

From reading Red Wings boards this is what I've gathered on Samuelsson
Pros: hard worker, cycles the puck very well, shoots a lot
Cons: not the best skater, always shoots into the goalies chest (Red Wings fans call him Logo Hunter), prone to turnovers, very streaky player

no matter which way you look at it that's really the only stanly cup experiance we have on the team now. It's ad's us some depth and he has the experiance playing the big games which we don't have.
If the plan is to play with the twins he just needs to be part of the cycle and shoot the puck which is needed on that line even tho it was getting better last year.
I wonder if they are still going to try to sign sundin? I have a feeling this might be his replacment and theres going to try to give Hodsgon and Grabner a shot at the big time.
That leaves them with enough cap space to get a #1 puck moving d in a trade which they need.

If Samuelsson can hit the net, instead of fanning or missing completely, he should easily be able to equal Carter's total if he plays with the twins.

But then again, this is AV so lines will not last forever.

didnt most of us complaning canucks not shooting the net enough ? there... we got a player who shoots alot, although he is so called "logo hunter" but at least there is potential to score a goal if he shoots.
why complain ? as long he shoots, there will be rebound... if someone can finish the job, winning 60+ games isnt too hard.

Few points from team1040:
samulson is considered one if not the best conditioned athlete on the wings
played with the twins on the same line in the olympics
a right hander
cup experiance

10.8 - 2.5(suspected) = ~8.3 mil left in cap space.

NHL numbers.com is saying $7.282 remaining cap space. I think we are done with big signings at Forward. Maybe add some depth but thats it. I would expect to see a ~$3m #4 and ~$1.5m #6 defenceman signed or traded for tho. We also still need a backup goalie (Sandford) at about $.6m
Sedin Sedin Sami
Burrows Kes Demitra
Raymond Wellwood (RFA) Bernier
Hordi Johnson Rypien
Hansen (RFA)
Grabner
Bolduc
Mitchel Bieksa
Edler ?
Salo ?
SOB (RFA)
Nicholat
Rome
Lu
?
Schneider

Red Wings site says he shoots right.
I really hope that a team site would have the proper info.

Prior July 1st, he favours a Splash. Now he's all up in MG's jock for opting not make splash  Then he backtracks and says retaining our players is a SPLASH.
then in the earlier topic of Matts Sundin's worth of $10 million last year vs. Gaborik's worth being $7.5 on his contract expiry.
He responds: Quote:

gaborik is neither. | When just a page before, he knocks on Gaborik because inflated contracts shouldn't be necessitated by "intangibles" which for some reason, he has no qualms with Sundin being offered $10million for 2 years. (supposedly for this year and last's) Quote:
Originally Posted by Hondaracer And yes, point a game players getting 6 million a year IS a deal regardless of how you feel about them as players, Gaborik, Hossa, etc. dont produce the numbers the sedins do, they are not as durable as they are yet they are getting paied substantially more, for what? the "intangibles" they bring? lol |
Lastly, post July 1st, he comments on how superstar contracts have a tendency to "handcuff" teams yet he has no qualms that our own superstars handcuff our team. (ie. Luongo asking for $8m)
Seriously. Mike Gillis could fart and Hondaracer would think it's a good move. His arguments and opinions swing back and forth so much depending on which way is most convenient of sucking Canuck balls. That lack of objectivity seriously negates the merits of his opinions.
