    Default Samsonov waiver pick up?

    Hey guys.
    2nd league in sig.

    Someone dropped Samsonov early.

    I have 5 out of 10 waiver and wondering if he's worth picking up.

    I'm happy with Vasi and Markstrom and was only planning on running with 2 G but I'm not opposed to 3

    I'd probably drop Bunting???? Maybe Norris, DeAngelo or Larsson

    I'm loving my skaters upside but I think Samsonov has a huge upside too....

    Thoughts??

    I’ve never understood why people only carry 2 goalies. I’ve never won with less than 5. They always get hurt or go through cold spells and at the end when it really matters to us, the best ones are usually rested on important nights. Grab him!

    I’d pick him up and drop Larson or Bunting.

    Yes, I'd pick him up for Bunting or Larsson (definitely not Norris!), assuming there aren't a lot of other decent G options on the FA market at all times. Vanecek's hold on the starting job is very tenuous, so you might as well see what happens there for a while and see if Samsonov can wrestle it back.

    Thanks guys.

    I'll try to claim him for Bunting. I like the upside there but I already have 3 LW only players

    Well I got him.......so far it's been a waste of a waiver. Taking all my might not to dump him for another goalie on the wire. Holtby, Peterson, Blackwood, Vanecek (of course) all available.
