I guarentee there will be a Leafs ACGM with Samsonov as the goalie within the next 2 minutes

Spring and Now Sammy. This franchise is getting rid of my favorite guys

Lmao I was just doing one but decided to delete it

Could be 2 options
A) Sammy is gonna be stuck in Russia
B) They need all the cap they can get for Kuemper

Well in A Tier a new challenger arrived

SAMSONOV

How much would he cost. 6 mil. We have it. I am happy that we will get a backup now. Like Allen. Not overpaying for him tho. I like the change but I’m sad we lost him for nothing,

I mean, we don't have a goalie lol

They might get Malkin tho 👀

Bro the Sharks have 3 goalies and should offer Samsonov a contract.

Wtf is happening - have the GMs around the league known about all the RFA non qualifies coming and not allowed suitable returns in hopes teams and players split because of arb rights or difference in camps.

This is so crazy. There’s an astonishing amount of unqualified RFA’s it makes me wonder. It’s not just one team like Chicago or San Jose anymore, it’s league wide.

Breaking News: The Washington Capitals have signed Shooter Tutor to a 4 year contract worth $20M per Elliotte Friedman. This news comes after the Capitals traded away Vitek Vanacek to the New Jersey Devils and did not qualify RFA Ilya Samsonov

No. We don’t need him Trochek is way better.

Better than fucale

Bro it’s confirmed - Doug Wilson Jr is leaving the San Jose Sharks as director of scouting and is looking for his next front office opportunity league wide.

WHAT A ****ING L

MY GOD. Whoever gets Wilson Jr is getting a star management leader.

What a ****ing joke.

Whichever team gets Wilson Jr - in any way; is going to be happy and I’m shocked the Sharks wouldn’t even make take the lead in San Jose instead. **** show.

Doug Wilson Jr. had a year left on his deal with the Sharks but both sides felt it made sense to move on, given connection to his dad Doug and to give new Sharks GM Mike Grier a fresh start. Wilson Jr. already talking to other front offices looking for next opportunity. https://t.co/PMHSQpnj2M

Offseason

Samsonov 3.75 Mill x 3 years
Pitlick 2mill x 3 years (Fox deal)
Heinen 2.25mill x 2 years
Strome 3.25 mill x 3 years

Trade out Kerfoot and Holl (5.5mill saved) bring in Reimer or Murray double retained (2.5mill at least)

Dont know if I got the math right or we can afford everyone but **** it lets go

I'm surprised Brett Howden didn't get a QO, he was solid for VGK

People will see this as a joke but trust me shooter tutor is pretty hard to score on…

Sammy isn’t worth that and will play like **** half the time but what’s new for you

The decision not to qualify Samsonov was a financial decision. As an RFA (with arbitration rights), the #Caps projected that he'd come in at $3-$3.5 million per, which, in their view, was too much for a backup and not justified based on his performance to date.

Kuemper to Washington is basically a lock

Remember when your a UFA you get paid. Its gonna be a bidding war and while he may not be worth that now he could work up to it and hes only 25

Why not sign him then trade him. Someone would have traded for him at 3-3.5mill on a 3 year deal

Wish we just drafted boser or Travis K. Waste of a first

Unlikely, but I wonder if Samsonov would sign with the isles (assuming they trade varlamov) to work with the goalie guru Mitch korn. it would increase his value playing behind the isles defense and he can get paid in 2 years

Didnt Korn leave as there was a report saying it was unlikely he was coming back

#NHLDucks did not qualify Sonny Milano.
