Canucks pay right price for Samuelsson: Free agent forward Mikael Samuelsson signed a $7.5 million, three-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks on Friday. "Obviously (the money) was the key, I shouldn't lie," Samuelsson said in a conference call after signing the deal. Samuelsson believes the Canucks, who signed brothers Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin of Sweden to contract extensions this week, can contend for the Stanley Cup. "I like the team," he said. "When you play against Vancouver it's always a hard game and a skill game too. You need some experience (to win the Cup). You need to be hungry. I believe we can do some damage."
