Re: It's an honest question..
This is what I would do and this is really shaking it up. I would drop Schneider and pick up Quick and also drop Saros and pick up Samsonov right now.Originally Posted by Right handed shot

Re: It's an honest question..
Any chance Holtby gets moved by deadline during the season and Caps run with Samsonov (who looks much better than Holtby) and Copley as the backup? That would free up cap space (pun) to sign Backstrom and they'd probably be able to snag a nice pick or depth piece for playoff run versus losing Holts for nothing next Summer... I am hovering over the add button next to Samsonov's name... I'm not even sure why I'm waiting.
Re: It's an honest question..
The Caps have a chance to make a run for the cup. Holtby is a proven NHL goalie - Samsonov not so much. I think it is possible for the Caps to trade Holtby this year by the trading deadline. However for that to happen Samsonov has to really prove that he can handle the job as an NHL starter and even more an a starter on an NHL team that has cup aspirations. Even then, I think it more likely that they keep Holtby and keep feeding him games so he is ready for the playoffs. I think the Caps want to prove that Samsonov can handle the load for next year so they don't have to resign Holtby. Once they do that, they will want Holtby ready for the playoffs.

Re: It's an honest question..
I think this is the bigger issue than Schneider. I watched their "game" against Boston last night. I was paaaaiiiiinnnnnnffffuuuullllll to watch. No coordination. No chemistry. Guys are literally flopping around the defensive zone. At one point, during even strength, they had all 5 Devils players in a box between the slot, face-off dots and the goal. The Bruins were genuinely cycling the puck like it was a 5on3 PP, but it was freaking even strength.
The good news is that this is all solvable and is due to so many new players in the top 6 forwards and top D pairing. It's going to take some time for them to come together and start playing like a team. Schneider is being totally left out to dry. The question is how long does it take for this to start coming together and can you make it wait that long.

Re: It's an honest question..
IMO there's almost no chance the Capitals trade Holtby in season. Going with Samsonov and Copley and trying to win a Cup that way is risky. Holtby and Samsonov gives them an awesome pairing of goaltending with Copley there if anything goes awry. They don't need to worry about signing Backstrom right now. They're all in for this year.

Re: It's an honest question..
Of these guys, Blackwood is clearly NOT an upgrade. If the Devils as a whole are the big problem ( and I think that's fair) dropping the starter for the backup is horrible.Quick
Samsonov
Reimer
Ullmark
Blackwood
Samsonov/Reimer/Ullmark are backups who are playing well right now. I think Ullmark can take a job the easiest, Samsonov has it the hardest. All are reasonable Saros replacements.
Quick has been the worst goalie in the NHL so far this year. I see no reason to grab him right now, and I'm not sure he keeps that job.

Re: It's an honest question..
I started Schneider, at 4-1 i was pleased and then.....
I really want to drop him since my league counts W/GAA/SV%/SO all of which schneider is destroying, a back up that might get less wins but doesn't burn gaa/sv% is likely more valuable, as of now wanting to drop schneider for samsonov, would anyone tell me otherwise????

Re: It's an honest question..
Personally I am done asking. He has to go. In just being perfectly honest, I don’t believe he’s the problem. I watched them play Florida yesterday and they were absolutely atrocious. Cross ice passes in front of their own net and in the neutral zone getting picked off left and right. It was really painful to watch. Most goalies in the league would have looked the same way.
Re: It's an honest question..
Prior to yesterdays game I would have said do not drop Schneider, but what happened with losing the lead the Devils had was disturbing. A guy like Samsonov, Reimer, Demko I believe would be a better option at this time.
