They have a historically inconsistent Holtby one summer away from a huge payday... I mean, that alone is enough to hoard all the G prospects you can.
While I'm more team Vanecek in the intermediate, Samsonov clearly has franchise G potential. The thing with G's in the modern game is to stay relevant you basically have to have an NHL caliber one in the barrel as your current stud gets put out to pasture or free agency. You can list Russian G prospects all you want, but 0 of those guys are playing a NA style game which is why I'm so in on Samsonov. The amount of traffic in front of the net in the KHL is non-existent, and the times a G gets bumped is basically 0. Those guys look great, but they're also just sitting back and picking off wristers and slap shots with a clear lane, the toughest thing the have to deal with is breakaways. Samsonov is so well regarded because his fundamentals and body positioning have allowed him to make a smooth transition to the NA game. I would certainly keep him in the A for a year, but I'm not certain G prospects like him come from Russia too often.
