If it's not Jack Campbell who should be the Leafs new #1 goalie?

Wasn't lehner mega injured all year?

The Greyhound angle is becoming bizarre.

Only GO Transit for me.

 

[LastOne2100]

If Dubas trades for Murray we all know we'll be here in another year trading away another first for yet another mistake.

How many lives does Dubas have? Unbelievable that this is even a conversation.

I’d kill for Belfour right now

He'll give you one billion dollars if you do so.

I’d kill for Belfour right now

How far would you go for a billion dollars?

He'll give you one billion dollars if you do so.

Sigh. He already gave away the billion, it's a hypothetical now.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

If we could get Samsonov too I'd feel more confident.

 

[TiMo15]

Generally an injury prone to injury prone goalie swap...gonna waste another prime year of Matthews

 

[francis246]

I hope we send holl or Kerfoot and somehow bring back Connor brown. That guy is an absolute beauty

Even if Murray doesn't work out (which tbf, I fully expect to be the case), it most certainly won't cost a 1st to move out 1 year at ~3-4M.

Why would trading for Murray guarantee he'd be here a year from now?

Net Worth: Why The Capitals Elected Not To Qualify Samsonov

With just one goaltender remaining on the NHL roster ahead of free agency, the Washington Capitals made a shocking decision. They chose not to qualify goaltender Ilya Samsonov, meaning the Russian will hit free agency on Wednesday. General manager Brian MacLellan said Wednesday that he had...

Per the Capitals, the decision was a financial one. Samsonov had arbitration rights, and the team projected that his next deal would come in the $3-3.5 million AAV range following a one-year, $2 million bridge deal for 2021-22. In Washington’s eyes, it was too expensive for a backup, and too expensive given his performance. The team also relayed that it wanted to go in a different direction.

Samsonov hasn’t developed the way the team has hoped. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of great potential and upside and even steal games but has not been able to maintain consistency. At times, he had trouble with puck control, rebound control and holding onto the stick, while letting in soft goals.


This past season, Samsonov went 23-12-5 with a .896 save percentage and 3.02 GAA through 44 games. In Game 2 of the opening round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he relieved Vanecek as the starter and had a decent showing with a cumulative .912 SV% in five games against the Florida Panthers.

Maybe we should pass

Should be able to sign Samsonov to short term. In this goalie market that's a pretty big plus.

His agent may have other ideas though.

No matter what his agent wants, the market is a buyers market this year

I am done.

 

[colchar]

He's a UFA ya

Really weird that I have heard literally nothing about him in all of the goalie talk. I would have been happy with him as backup, but now that they have Murray I am praying that they are going to go with a legit tandem.

 

[Subway Schenn]

Really sad that we've very likely seen Jack play his final game as a Leaf. Hope he cashes in tomorrow (If he doesn't I have no idea what we were doing!).

 

[nuck]

The sweetener isnt sweet enough. A 3rd and a 7th and they pay $4.68M so he is their #1. I wonder who they can afford as a backup.

 

[Matty Sundin]

I wasn’t too thrilled at the thought of signing Kuemper but I must admit I’d feel hell of lot comfortable going into the season with Kuemper as the guy then Matt Murray.

 

[Stephen]

If we could get Samsonov too I'd feel more confident.

Me too. Will likely need to free up a Holl salary to make that more likely.

 

[Bomber0104]

To be clear, you are in a rage because we are entering free agency season with lots of capspace and a clean goaltending slate?

This aged oh so well.

Should have traded and signed the AHL level Georgiev, right?

I've never mentioned Gerogiev once before but he's probably as good an option as Murray is for $4.6 !

not sure he is, I wouldn't be happy with either move, I think this one has upside at least, but not banking on it working out.

That aged well, lol. A broken clock gets it right more.
