A recent Washington Times piece said that Samuels was willing to try to restructure his contract any way he could to help make his cap numbers more manageable, but that he just didn't want to sign an extension yet with two years left on his current contract. Not being a cap expert like some (Canucks) around here, I'm not sure what kind of restructuring can be done without extending the contract, but I have to say that the article made Samuels look quite decent and reasonable, even indicating he might be willing to sign an extension next year.
