Actually isn’t really bad of a pick up. Decent back up who did struggle a bit but had flashes of being good. If defense can ease the amount of workload we got a good tandem.

Good backup

Solid #2

My god, we really are paying the bill for the Cup win and running it back
KnightsOnIce
Decent depth add.

Could have saved 4m and ran LT-Samsonov. Now we have to pray Hill stays healthy. Samsonov isn’t getting the run support he got in Toronto.

I get the negativity around the team today with the guys we’ve lost but this is a solid deal.

Oh boy

He’s been very up and down we’ll have to see which version of Samsonov we get
ImSomeRandom
He’s not great but he can play enough games during the regular season so hill doesn’t get overloaded. Not long term either so it’s whatever.
If you really want to be optimistic he tends to go on incredible runs at times and our D core is way better than what Toronto put in front of him
Dinomandino
Perhaps our system can allow him to be better than he was on the Leafs.
Merkkin
We have good goaltending coaches and a system that favors big goalies. He’s proven to have the skills, even if inconsistent. Before our cup run, lots of people in this sub said Hill sucked so I’ll wait to see what he does.

Welcome to the fucking show Sammy!

Any idea what the cap hit is? I don’t see anything about this trade anywhere.

I like it!

Depending on the Cap hit, this could be pretty good. He plays a similar style game to LT in terms of athleticism. In ‘22-23 he lead the league in inner slot save percentage. After returning from his mental reset in December, he was a beast on many nights. When he wasn’t, he was still good.
We also have one of the best goaltending coaches in the entire league in Sean Burke. He revived Hills career and helped make LT what he is. If anybody can turn Sammy around, it’s him.
