I know Samsonov has done virtually nothing and Rivet is an UFA, but you don't find d-man like Rivet just at the corner rink. Samsonov is a career 25pts/season player. The only sense this trade would make would be that at least they would be getting a player(s). All HABS fans know their draft record it sucks. Jason Ward, Doug Wickenheiser(RIP),Terry Ryan,Marcel Hossa, Val Bure, and on and on…….

Here is the article that is supported by the Gazette:
http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/mtl070210.html

"The latest rumor has Horcoff heading to Montreal for Sergei Samsonov and defenseman Craig Rivet. However, as the Gazette notes, Oilers GM Kevin Lowe recently said he wasn't interested in bringing Samsonov back."

Adding to the rumor: Kevin Lowe has also said that he has absolutely no interest in bringing Samasonov back to Edmonton. I'm pretty sure Sammy doesn't want to go back either. So scrap this rumor.

i've heard this rumour before, sounds good but i highly doubt it, lowe wouldn't take samsonov back mainly cause of his contract, and with rivet being a ufa there is no guarantee that he will resign with the oilers. I would shift my efforts toward getting forsberg, or possibly with florida landing roberts, stumpel, horton, or burtuzzi if he can be healthy
