Im still not sold that a contender is happy with that defense and that goaltending. While Woll has looked good in 10 NHL games, he has a longer history of injuries and uneven play at the pro level than that.
Key expiring guys in Nylander, Bertuzzi, Brodie, Domi, liljegren, and to a lesser extent klingberg, giordano, gregor, jones, robertson, this team isn;t constructed in contracts to be so fragile on the backend and in net.
I just dont think you can say at this point that you;d be comfortable with making that move.
While it creates cap space to activate timmins and have an extra forward, it doesn;t create enough to do anything with the remainder really at this point of the year, (after timmins is activated, you have 20 skaters but just 1.7mil in cap space).
And based on how hes played, his cap hit and that hes an expiring UFA, Im not sure you get that return for Samsonov.
