C Samuel Helenius - Ontario Reign, AHL (2021, 59th, LAK)

Agree with @Kingsfan1 , he looked very good, and his game sense is much better suited for the flow of the NHL than the choppiness/spontaneity of the A.

How's Samuel's skating is it good enough to play full-time in NHL this season?

So what if it was slew-foot? Samuel got a phone-call for Kirkland and responded on it.
Both got 5min for fighting so problem solved.

Nah he threw a slew foot on our smallest player his second game. Screw him, typical tweener that gets a tryout for being huge.

Hopefully the tryout ends quick

Seems like it

has a good head for the game so it's not like he gets caught behind the play either

mostly makes smart simple plays, knows his role, takes good '4th liner' shots--hard, low, on net, mucks it up.

He should be around full time by next year but the org is dead set on getting Lewis to 1000 games first no matter what but he's making the most of his injury replacement time for the most part
