Samsonov is a great player but he lacks a reason and want, to want to play some one needs to motivate him again. If he was on a team like Detroit he would fit in perfect. Chicago is a great fit for him also but some one needs to get on him there to get him going. Give him time he will be a 30 goal scorer again soon.

Not surprised to see samsonov on the list, as he is one the worst players in the NHL...everywhere he goes it is big hype time and then when he starts to play it is big disappointment time...pack it in sergei...

Ryder should be on this list, he almost won the Leafs game by himself last year, and now he is lost. Maybe whats wrong is not the players, but the atmosphere in Montreal, where losing seens to have become acceptable. Bad trades as well as not drafting for need will do that.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”
