Regarding Elvis though. Maybe he’s better on another team. Maybe. But it’s not a guarantee. There’s no way to know for sure from an acquiring GM.
He does have talent though. That can’t be denied. But so does Samsonov. Talent isn’t always everything, especially with goaltenders. Mental stability, consistency of focus also plays a big part. Go watch how Hellybuck or Vasi go about their business in a calm and cool demeanor. That’s the risk of Elvis.
Then consider that Elvis is paid 5.4M with term. That’s a tall ask for any team to take on, on a maybe.
