MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced on Saturday that the team has agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with free-agent defenseman Philip Samuelsson.

Samuelsson was drafted in the second round, 61st overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. He has 13 games of NHL experience sporting the colors of both the Penguins and the Coyotes.

He is the son of Ulf Samuelsson, who played 1,080 games over the course of his NHL career with the Whalers, Rangers, Red Wings, Flyers and Penguins.

Samuelsson have nhl potential. I can see him being a solid #6 in a near future.
Good pick up

AHL depth. Bergevin works his arse.

Finally getting nice AHL players, so that Lefebvre can show Bergevin he -really- suck at coaching (or mysteriously manage to make the playoffs, and tadammmm 25 years extension !)

Before these two, Berg only had 43 of his 50 allotted contracts. Both are solid AHL guys. With Ellis, Dietz, and Holloway gone from the Ice Caps, these two will go a long way to filling the void.

Terry is a good AHLer and while not exactly the most well-rounded, if somebody gets hurt, you can call him up, put him on a third line and get a little bit of offense out of him.

I wish they would've kept Dietz, he'll be a good #5/6 guy someday soon.
