Nobody puts the Swedish boy in the corner!: Oilers failed to keep Samsonov

Oilers failed to keep Samsonov

So, my fav Oiler has gone. Gone to Montreal. I thought he was a guy we needed to keep. To me, he didn't really showcase well here but I know what he's capable of. He was a superstar with the Bruins. First, Yzerman retires now Samsonov is gone. I feel like I have nothing to watch in the upcoming season. Maybe Joffrey Lopul will score 100 goals or something...yeah right. I don't think we got any better over the off season. I think that everything will be the same come playoffs next year except Vancouver will take our 8th spot.

Rosanna =) said...: i think pretty much every team in our division got better this summer. calgary had some good pick-ups again. i think samsonov would have stayed if the price was right....the only reason i say that is because he went to montreal.; 8:31 p.m.
diana said...: montreal has a great hockey tradition though, and it's a way cooler city. it's an original 6 team. i love edmonton, but i did not see samsonov staying there. we could have paid him if we wanted to, since we dumped pronger and peca won't sign with us again.; 5:54 p.m.
