Player Notes
April 16, 2008
Sergei Samsonov signed a 3-year, $7.6 million contract to remain with the Carolina Hurricanes, this according to TSN. "We were very excited about Sergei's play after he arrived in Carolina," said Hurricanes' president Jim Rutherford. "It was important to the success of our team going forward that we keep him here."

February 21, 2008
Don't look now but Sergei Samsonov, left for dead earlier this year by the Blackhawks, scored his seventh goal in 20 games with the Hurricanes on Thursday night. Those certainly aren't spectacular numbers for the former 70-point scorer, but seven goals and 14 points in 20 games with the 'Canes is a heck of lot better than his putrid performance in Chicago (four assists in 23 games) marking Sergei as a possible waiver-wire find if you are in need of offense from the wing.

Sergei Samsonov had two points in Friday's game with Edmonton. He's now got six points in four games since joining Carolina.

The Hurricanes claimed Sergei Samsonov off waivers from the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to the AP. Samsonov, who is in the final season of a two-year contract, had four points in 23 games with Chicago this season.

Our View:Samsonov topped 70 points in two consecutive seasons earlier in his career, but he’s topped 40 points only once in his last three seasons. He’ll need to show some signs of life before we can advise fantasy owners to consider picking him up.

Sergei Samsonov cleared waivers Monday and is likely to be sent to the minors, according to the AP. Samsonov has failed to score in 23 games this season.
