Just a stupid move. About the only good thing about it is he’s less likely to be claimed this early.
GMBetaMale is betting on, and will market this kid being a goalie messiah making Holtby expendable. This all fine and good for a team hoping to just make the playoffs and sell a few jerseys, but not a team that expects to win a Cup

Caps are currently $150k under the salary cap I believe. Samsonov's cap hit is $175k less than Copley's. I doubt this is the reason. They must really like Samsonov. It seems they've been grooming him for the future and like what they see. I have to say that watching him I like him too. I'll miss Copley though.

Copley was a cap issue, they are hoping no one picks him up. At the conclusion of this season Holts and Backy will need contracts too, but there is no reason to get excited about it until after the Seattle draft.

It's finally time...
