Loading ...Samsonov signed for three years: ch.com
This is certainly an interesting deal. Sammy had a bit of a resurgence here after having issues in Montreal, Edmonton, and Chicago, but (to steal a quote from the Good Doctor) how long can he maintain? Honestly, how long can we expect the man to rack the points up? He’s always been a mite on the streaky side, and I’m seriously thinking that if he gets on a schneid the fans will start screaming for him to be shipped out in the back of a pig truck.
We’ll see. I just hope that neither party in this agreement winds up regretting it.
Tonight I’ll be cleaning my kitchen while the Rangers game is on in the living room. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the Serene Master will get to don the battlegear (and hopefully not have a brainfart or two).
I think the samsanov deal is a good one. at around 2 mil a season he wont take up too much cap room, and I think he knows he has to keep his game up so he doesnt get put on waivers or dropped to the minors. Hopefully he will work hard this summer to get back into the game. Looking at the depth chart i dont think left wing is a problem with Sergei and Rutuu staying, brookbank and bayde go back down to the minors. We are a bit heavy at Center, especially if Sutter comes up next year. Jensen hits up albany again, but what about Aucoin and Hamilton who spent some time with the big team this year? Right wing is a little short. Defense is hurting bad… I respect the heck out of the man, but I think Wesley might need to hang it up.. he gives 110% every shift, but always seems a little slow or behind the play. I think John Grahme is gone, bring up Leighton who played very well in his 5 games this year, or bring in another older, experienced backup (who’s not already over the hill). Shore up defense and goal next year and we make the playoffs and contend in the east. Just my 2 cents.
