I would if i were them.... unless Vanecek or Samsonov price themselves out of Washington, but even at that they are RFAs and Copley is a UFA

I would think a 3rd or equivalent would be a fair ask. (Vladar got a 3rd for reference)

Copley's value to the Caps is that of a stalwart, stable veteran, but exclusively for AHL Hershey. After his first NHL game shutout this week, Zach Fucale might already be seen as third on the depth chart and first callup after Vanecek (1a) and Samsonov (1b).

Whether Copley is worth dumping for a mid-round pick or not... I'd think at that price he's worth more as a stable force in Hershey. Closer to a second round pick, maybe that gives them pause. It's nice to have some goalie depth, though, even out to four good players at the position.

Note that Copley has a one-way contract. He makes $1.1M, even in the AHL.

To say Samsonov is a 1b right now is being generous

Dude has about a .900 save percentage over the last few years in the AHL, he isn't worth a second or even a third. A late pick would be best case and I think at that price the Caps probably hang onto him for the added depth.

I tend to agree with that. They're not likely to move him unless it's for a reasonably high pick, and in that range teams probably are not going to be interested. But a fourth or fifth rounder? That's not going to move the needle for the Caps. It all adds up to him staying where he is, I think. They certainly don't seem to be actively seeking to move him. He makes the exact amount you can bury a one-way contract in the minors and not have any of his compensation count against your salary cap.
