Hoss Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) You know this is a trade for his rights? right? The condition hasn't been revealed yet, but it's probably a condition on him signing or not. If that's the case then it's technically not a trade for his rights because while we may have his rights right now then we haven't given anything up. Maybe it's a conditional 7th that becomes a 6th if he signs. Edited July 10, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chileanseabass Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 He accumulates PIMs at a respectable rate. Does anyone know whether he fights? If so, he could have a useful security function for the kids in Rochester. According to my sources (http://dropyourgloves.com/Players/Player.aspx?Player=28445), he dropped the gloves 3 times in his two years in the USHL.

shrader Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 .67 PPG in the ECAC is not inspiring. This guy maxes out as a fourth liner in the NHL and is more likely destined for the same role in the AHL. So good use of a contingent 7th round pick, but it's tough to get too excited over this prospect. Taking a chance on a grinder for the AHL. There is nothing to see here (unless you have freakishly large calf muscles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yes because he is 24, he can only sign an one year ELC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 very excited to see how rip gets the 14 characters of Samuels-Thomas onto the sweater. They've managed 13 before with Franceschetti.

LGR4GM Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Samuels-Thomas is a man. I know he is 24 and such but he is a man. Loved his interview, humble kid. I wish him the best. http://video.sabres.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=668&id=628442&lang=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I sat about 12th row for the second period of the blue v. white scrimmage. I don't profess to know much about hockey. Samuels-Thomas was playing the right wing, just in front of where I was sitting, and he stood out to me. He is big, strong, and fast, I'll say. He used his body well and created some chances along the boards and near the net. He looks like a very good skater, who's not afraid to bang the body, because he wins those matchups. He showed very good effort. He had the man against boys things going on, in the short time that I watched the game. A 20 minute period is not much of a sample size, but I came away from the scrimmage convinced that he had very strong potential as a 3-4 liner. He can make things happen with his size and speed, so I thought, he will probably be an NHL player, regardless of whatever offensive potential he might have. He created chances, and will probably win a spot because of his speed, size, and knack at shielding the puck and banging people off the puck with his body.

I am Defecting Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Win a spot eventually, of course, but it was the first time that I had seen, or ever heard of Samuels-Thomas, and he impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your saying he's a Cody Mac replacement but we just signed him? Now I'm confused about this new guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
