Samuelsson could play within the next week for the banged-up Panthers. He scored a goal and three points through six games with the Canucks but was playing at a much slower pace.

Samuelsson has yet to suit up for the Panthers, a week after getting traded to the Panthers. Despite his mild success in Vancouver with a goal and three points over six games, the Mariefred, Sweden native probably loses most of his fantasy hockey value.
Samuelsson may hold some fantasy hockey value down the line but his indefinite timetable and downgrade in team certainly hurt his overall worth. If you need the roster spot badly, he may not be a bad option to dump.
Samuelsson was able to play earlier in the season but had a setback due to complications from his offseason hernia. His footspeed was nothing to rave about and he probably should be dropped in shallow leagues.
See article for full analysis.
Samuelsson will miss his second consecutive game as he requires maintenance from offseason surgery. Through his first six games back, he had a goal and three points. This must be a setback.
Following season-ending surgery, Samuelsson continues to struggle with his timing. Through his first six games of the season, the Mariefred, Sweden native has a goal and three points. Look for him to draw back in the next time the Canucks play.
Samuelsson's value takes a slight hit with him going down to the third line. He should, however, continue to man the point on the powerplay.
Moving to the fourth line is certainly not good for his fantasy hockey value. Through his first three games, Samuelsson scored a goal and two points. Expect this demotion to be temporary.
The Canucks will need Samuelsson more than ever with Ryan Kesler expected to miss the first month. The right wing has four consecutive seasons with 40 points or more so he remains fully capable of filling the net in a secondary role.
