I bet you could probably find a trade partner for him. He's not a top 4 D on a good team though. He'd be a really good #5 on a contender. The issue is he is ALWAYS hurt. I don't know how it happens either. He plays a softer game than Power.

Given how stanky his play has been, he's more of a drain snake at this point.
I’m pretty sure I was more physically involved in that melee than Samuelsson.
I, at least, sat up to watch it

I don't understand how the coach stops him from being mean and physical, the dude just doesn't have it. Or he's afraid of getting injured again, Idk.
Sammy is just a big goofball no snarl or bite. Also a bad influence on Quinn.
Sammy is somehow a softer version of Smehlik. Never thought that would be possible
With his salary, injuries, low hockey iq, and the fact he has a letter lets hope he 's out the door this summer. But finding replacement D is not a good trait for KA.
I wonder what he looks like in the dressing room. I think they will remove some players if they are not on the same page as Rasmus and the rest of them because you need a team of like-minded people.
May be asking alot with this owner/gm. The gm has not been able to add any competent D for 5 years.
It would've been hard to look worse.
