I would take seriously if we traded SamNoShownov. All Vanecek has done since he was given his chance, is play like he wants to be part of the team in helping the team win. Samsonov, last season and now, has shown how talented he could be but mentally, his focus and maturity level are not where it needs to be a regular NHL goalie. Frankly, there was a lot of talk of how good Samsonov, Shesterkin and Sorokin were going to be, and yet they have all been disappointments. If I was GM BMac, my thinking has changed somewhat on protecting Samsonov in the Expansion Draft. I'll take the less talented goalie who has worked his butt off in the minors and stepped up big time with his given NHL time, over the more talented goalie who seems to have his head stuck up his butt!
