Yeah baby...
The Boston Bruins have agreed to terms with left wing Sergei Samsonov on a one-year contract, it was announced today by Bruins General Manager Mike O?Connell. In keeping with club policy, terms of the contract were not released.
?I?m very happy that we were able to reach agreement this early in camp and have Sergei join in almost from the start,? said O?Connell. ?He?s been working out all during the off-season in Michigan, he always keeps himself in great shape and he has had no problems with his wrist, so he should be right on schedule with the rest of his teammates. Sergei is one of the most exciting and dynamic players in the NHL and we expect him to be a big contributor to the team this season with the injury
behind him.?
Samsonov, 24, was limited to eight games during the 2002-03 season, missing 74 games with a right wrist injury which required bone graft surgery on December 24. He averaged over a point per game in those eight contests, however, with five goals and six assists for 11 points in that span. Three of his five goals on the season last year were game-winning efforts, including a dramatic score at 19:59 of the third period for a 2-1 victory in Colorado on October 13. He had multiple-point efforts in
four of those eight games with points in six of the eight contests overall.
