Quoting: aadoyle
I dont see retention
Look at CBJ and LAK deal where Quick (0.876sv) and a 1st + 3rd went for Korpisalo + Gavrikov
But in general I dont see Toronto spending assets for a goalie. They voodo. Sammy has the same chance of rebounding as another guy coming in and putting up good numbers on this team.
Its basically a waste of assets that should be spent on a Dman or two
Oh, there has to be retention.
Samsonov right now is a #3 tender.... at best.
The Korposalo deal is a terrible comparison. Quick was moved for cap purposes to a non-playoff team.
So even running the list down.....
Gibson? I think he is a Duck.for another season...Dostal needs more seasoning.
Elvis? Maybe. But that leaves the Jackets with Tarasov and.....?
Forget about the Hawks.... Mzarek is in an expiring deal.
Sens? Can't see them giving up on Korposalo yet.
Sharks? They could be just content with Kahkonen and Blackwood (Inwould be right now)
Allen? He actually fetches a positive package
Vladar? Don't see Calgary taking on cap space.
So..... yeah, right now, zero fits for Samsonov - unless a team like Carolina (noting Peters is there, and Anderson remains a mystery); Vancouver (where Silvos could I suppose); or LA (where that depends on Rittich) takes a low cost flyer.
None of these listed teams take him.on full value. Burying him for $500k could make some sense, but at full value. Nope. Never.
