Respectful pass from the bruins. Just not quite a fit.

Hasn’t samsonov been horrible? Why would he get a second?

The ship has sailed on that one i think. Three years in the league, no sign of progress, and 25 years old.

2.93gga .901s% is terrible?

Orlov is a top pairing physical dman that is excellent at moving the puck...seems exactly what they would need

Lol ya. .901 is terrible. 2.93 is atrocious. That’s 67th in the league in save percentage, and 57th in goals against.

Really really really bad. One of the worst in the league this season.

If you think orlov is a legit top pair d man in the NHL, i don’t know how to help you. But you know he isn’t, which is why you made this trade.

seems weird to assume that... his issue is consistency but i think he's show enough that a team would take a chance on him for a 2nd. 25 isnt exactly old its def not young but thats right when a goalie should be hitting their stride

Habs easily pass. Theres no chance they offer what will be a mid 30s pick for a bust.

The dialogue between wsh and and mtl was initiated by wsh. They want to move samsonov way more than the habs want him.

based off what lol?
puck moving (defensive zone
volume- 93%
efficiency- 90%
overall - 91%
puts him as a top 10 defender

McAvoy
volume- 92%
efficiency- 87%
total - 90%

thats just puck moving D zone and i have McAvoy as an elite defender smile

Orlov is absoluley a top tier Dman and would easily be the bruins top LSD smile

Not really he is 25 and still hasnt demonstrated himself to be a competent starter despite having a good team in front of him. He is beyond the point where "potential" is worth anything trade wise.

Theres a reason the capitals are so keen to jettison him from the team

Then why are you trading him? Seems silly to give him up for so little if that’s what you truly think of him. But we both know he’s not that caliber of player.

they literally kept him over VV this summer lmfao. they planned on him being the starter. Great team in front of him?!!? have you watched them play? they been injuried all year and playing like trash... look at his game logs and come talk to me. hes either Roy or Swiss Cheese but teams will easily pay a 2nd for him.

Okay, I’ll rephrase. Why are you trading him for this? You recently stated that he was a top ten defender. Surely he should be getting a top prospect, a 1st, and then some.

Lol not even close. Robin lehner who was easily a bonafide starter with a long track record of success got a worse return from vegas than what you are proposing.

The habs 2nd round pick will be around 35th. That is almost equivalent value to the cup champs 1st round pick. Samsonov is not remotely worth a 1st round pick.

no i said top ten puck moving d-man in the d zone ( or maybe i wasnt clear on that point. my fault) ... which is a huge part of hockey now days. top 10 dmen would be a massive overvalue. i think hes a really solid top pairing guy. pair him with McAvoy and you have one of the best pairing in the league imo,.. his numbers are great playing w Jensen

JFC MAF got Mikael Hakkarainen.? how about Grub got 2nd and they dump Orpik contract. Vladar got a 3rd 3.40 ggs .886s%... hes one year younger than Sammy. lmfao and has WAY worse stats. was he a bust or did he thrive in a different role? thats the best comparable i can think of... Habs have nothing in the pipe worth while in net and would need to give up something of value to get a guy like Sammy

i also love the logic... early second is basically a 1st.... its not its a 2nd round pick. lol and a late 1st isnt that crazy thats why teams competing trade them all the time. i mean you guys traded that + 2nd for MF dvorak lol

Vlader is younger than samsonov, cheaper and has a similar statline this year. Congrats "sammy" is worth a 3rd.

If you think he’s a top pairing guy you should be asking more. I don’t think he’s that, and don’t think there would be much interest from Boston.

Samsonov is only worth a 2nd right now? Would the caps be interested in Kempny, Samsonov for Mrazek (1 million retained) + 2nd at the TDL?

Buddy your starting goalie is a guy that hasn’t played since 2018. I highly doubt the Capitals made the first call there lol
