I'm happy we're going with Samsonov as backup. Even if he's not as polished or experienced as a guy like Copley, I'd rather have a young guy with room to grow getting the opportunities to grow here, than have a guy who's halfway through his career and has already hit his ceiling.
BlackIce:
Has anyone heard, did Copley clear waivers?
He may have been sent down, but he's sill an important piece of the organization if there is a goalie injury.
To answer my own question, apparently he did. He is listed on the Hershey roster, along with Vanacek, as the goalies. That is a pretty strong AHL goalie tandem.

As long as he gets enough work here to continue his development. Interestingly, the Caps have only 12 back-to-backs this season, so the team is going to have to find a lot of other opportunities for him to get in there. Hopefully the goaltending load will be split perhaps about 2 to 1, with Holtby getting, say, 55 starts and Samsonov the other 27.
