Quoting: Joey_mar_cur
not enough cap space for what samsonov will inevitably want, kallgren is a UFA, Woll is borderline ready, Murray is on robidas island. WAAAAYYYYY too many goalies
Sammy is an RFA, and I don't think he'll be getting more than Murray's current cap hit. Woll is as good if not better as Montembeault (though I admit its a smaller sample size), and moving Murray will be to open the necessary cap space to sign Sammy. Kallgren shouldn't be in this convo, he's a 4th string, but even then, worst case is he signs in Europe.
Also, imo, the Leafs shouldn't trade all their futures unless they can be certain of what their getting back. Sure, the Leafs have proven that they aren't afraid to test the goalie position with unproven talent and risky acquisitions, but they didn't pay futures for them, Murray came with picks, only costing future considerations, and Sammy was a 1 yr 1 mil FA signing, both guys (and 2 late picks) acquired without sending out 2 1sts, our 2nd best young left wing behind Knies, and Murray, who can be dumped with far safer methods.
Do the Leafs have so many goalies that we can't go out and try to acquire one? no, but should we go out and acquire one? also no, especially not one with media baggage after the WJ incident, and who is known for consistency problems, and we shouldn't invest the little draft capital we have for it.
