Once Anderson retires, it could be this season, Sabres don't have such ready goaltending for the NHL. You have Tokarski and that is it. Your 2 good goalie prospects have another 3 or more before their fully ready.Sabres don’t need him
Cossa is 3 to 5 years away and Nedeljkovic is still inconsistent. There is a reason why the Canes traded him to the Wings.Why would Detroit have any interest in Samsonov? We've Nedeljkovic and Cossa as our main netminders. We don't need Samsonov.
My bad. You gonna nit pick on that...You made 4 threads in 10 minutes, please think out your proposals/threads before spamming the board with them.
Ps. It's not a proposal if you're just asking what people would give for him.

Cossa should be ready in 3 years, 5 years is stretching it a bit. And if Detroit had a better D in front of Ned he'd be a lot better then he is.Cossa is 3 to 5 years away and Nedeljkovic is still inconsistent. There is a reason why the Canes traded him to the Wings.
Actually learn the team…Once Anderson retires, it could be this season, Sabres don't have such ready goaltending for the NHL. You have Tokarski and that is it. Your 2 good goalie prospects have another 3 or more before their fully ready.
I think Buffalo would likely be looking for more of a veteran netminder who they can run as a 1A/1B with UPL for the next couple of seasons. Not sure they would want someone who is still relatively young partly because I don't think they want to risk blocking Levi or Portillo from making the leap depending on how long they simmer in the AHL. Also a vet would really be better suited to help guide the youngsters considering UPL is the oldest of the 3 and just turned 23 a few days ago. With Samsonov being an RFA and 25 I'm guessing he is going to be looking for some long term security, and the asking price from Washington may be more than Buffalo would want to pay.Once Anderson retires, it could be this season, Sabres don't have such ready goaltending for the NHL.

Caps know what these goalie trades cost fairly well, they've done plenty of them.
Varlamov went for a 1st, 2nd
Grubauer went for a 2nd (and Orpik dump)
Neuvirth went for a 3rd
Reacquiring Vanecek cost a 2nd
So I'll go with a 2nd rd pick, or maybe packaged as part of a larger trade
