    Seconded. With Holtby and Copley signed through next year, unlikely we see a lot from Samsonov.

    Definitly Demko. Samsonov needs more time adjusting to North American hockey, he’s under .900 in the AHL. One more season will help his development. And like EE said, the Caps have already their 2 NHL goalies for next season. While Demko should be Markstrom’s backup ... if he can stay healthy!

    Check out his game log. Since the turn of the calendar, he has been absolutely lights out. The adjustment time seems to be over.

    Demko is the obvious choice for next year, but beyond that, I think that I'd rather roll my dice on Samsonon.

    I would not be rostering either of those goalies for next season. Demko will at best be a back up on a bad hockey team while Samsonov will be in the minors.

    it's all relative to the size of your pool. If it's for your 10 team league in sig. Neither, as CC said should really be considered.

    Markstrom has really put a stamp on this season. A .926 svpct since Dec 1. He seems to actually be turning into a #1G

    In a deep pool, next year - give me Demko of the two options. He'll get a larger number of starts (unless Holtby hits the IR for an extended period)

    I won't waive my magic wand and claim one over the other 5 years from now - Ovie & Backstrom will be either gone or damn close in Wsh & Van will have a much better team in front of Demko. A lot can happen. Last year, Demko was pretty lights out on a 'meh' Utica team as well.

    This will be a lot close than some think in a few years between these two teams

    I had both of these guys in my farm at one point and traded Samsonov. He might be the better goalie talent wise but he has the tougher path to a starter job than Demko does, theoretically.
