Sergei Samsonov from Boston moves to Edmonton.

If Samsonov plays at his full potential it just gets a little more uglier for Canuck fans.

Just imagine Samsonov flying down on one wing...and Ales Hemsky flying down the other..only to be flattened by Keith Carney or Erich Weinrich or Miko makes the save. I doubt Samsonov given his track record will even make it to the post season without being injured again.

Going to Boston are Marty Reasoner, Yan Stastny (going back to B-town) and a 2nd rounder.

Now allow me to settle into my GM armchair for a moment.

I like the deal.

Reasoner was an oft-injured passenger so no loss there. He's a holdover from the Doug Weight trade, so it's like a protracted Samsonov-Weight swap.

Yan Stastny has potential, but the Oilers are already loaded with prospects. It could be an ass-biter down the road if he has the same HOF career as his old man.

There is a chance that Samsonov could walk away at the end of the season, so he could end up as a rental like Roloson. Boston dumped him because the Bruins weren't able to re-sign him.
