Samsonov was the best Russian goalie developing since Vasilevskiy (obviously now Askarov is in that category now too). Vasilevskiy played two seasons as a backup and one season as a 1A 1B with Bishop before playing 65 games as a starter in his fourth year (third year he played 50 games Bishop played 30). Samsonov is in his third season and has played 42 games. plus doesn't have Ben Bishop as a tandem guy to lean on when needed.
So from Washingtons perspective why would they ever want to move on from a guy like that? Keep dreaming buddy
