| Sept. 27, 2026 | Samson was waived Sunday for the purpose of being loaned to AHL Laval. - Samson notched five goals and 18 points in 40 AHL regular-season appearances between Lehigh Valley and Syracuse in 2025-26. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Montreal in July. | None |
| July 1, 2026 | Samson agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Wednesday. - Samson has yet to appear in an NHL game since being selected by the Flyers in the sixth round of the 2021 NHL Draft. Still, at just 22 years of age, the defenseman still has a chance to prove he can handle the big time. He logged 40 games for AHL Syracuse and Lehigh Valley last year, tallying five goals and 13 assists. He'll need to do better than that to earn a call-up from the Habs. | None |
| June 29, 2026 | Samson was not given a qualifying offer from the Lightning on Monday, which means he will become an unrestricted free agent, per PuckPedia. - Samson picked up five goals and 18 points over 40 games between AHL Lehigh Valley and Syracuse in 2025-26. The defenseman was a sixth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2021 and has never appeared in an NHL game. | None |
| April 17, 2026 | Samson scored two goals in AHL Syracuse's 6-4 loss to Belleville on Friday. - Samson has a total of 17 points over 39 appearances between Syracuse and Lehigh Valley this season.

| Dec. 8, 2025 | Samson was acquired by the Lightning from the Flyers on Monday in exchange for Roman Schmidt. - Samson has yet to make his NHL debut, and while Tampa Bay didn't make it official in its press release, the 22-year-old will more than likely report to AHL Syracuse. The British Columbia native picked up four helpers and four PIM across 10 games with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2025-26. Samson was a sixth-round selection by Philadelphia in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. | None |
| Nov. 14, 2025 | Samson (upper body) was activated from non-roster injured reserve and assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, Phantoms announcer Bob Rotruck reports. - Samson was given a 6-8 week timeline to recover in late September, and his return lands squarely in the middle of that. The 22-year-old blueliner will likely spend the bulk of the season with Lehigh Valley, where he had 24 points in 69 regular-season appearances. | None |
