Confirmed with Link: Mattias Samuelsson Signs 7 year extension ($4.29M AAV)

I'll never understand why players don't try a stick-lift in that situation. Slashing the opponent's stick is just asking for a penalty.

Not a good look to have an A cost you at least a point and maybe the game.

I mean, the C did too. The leadership group as a whole has been terrible thus far.

I’ve seen that get called as a hook before.

Well, we can’t trade all the leaders, so we have to look for a different reason why they look like this.

If the defender's stick gets up into the opponent's gloves, sure. Technique matters.

It was the best defensive move available to Samuelsson in that situation.

Lindy is probably a gaffe or two from having him sit a game.

That is probably where this is going. Gilbert needs a game.

What looked a steal of a contract, looks very average now and even an overpay. Sammy is a big dude but his game is not that tough, his offence is tiny and his gaffes are not great. I don't see a ton of value at $4.28 M but he is youn.
