Last season was the only down year for Samsonov, and even at that he wasn't that bad, But for 4.7m and 1.8m for Murray and Sammy, shouldn't Leafs just signed Campbell for 5m and some else?


2021 was pretty bad too for Samsonov

Solid signing for a player that can still turn into something good.

This makes the Murray trade look a bit better.

Trading Vanecek and letting Sam walk for nothing. Amazing MacLellan asset management.

Three questions for Toronto

1. Who’s starting Samsonov or Murray? (neither of them are exactly good options)
2. What do you see in Samsonov that I don’t?
3. How much time does Samsonov have left in the league (not much in my opinion if he doesn’t improve drastically)


1. Tandem
2. Samsonov is young and still has enormous potential
3. He will be in the league for a long time as there arent many 25 year old goalies capable of playing 40 games

Paying $6.5 million for a goalie tandem is good. If both goalies have bounce-back seasons, then this will be a great year for Toronto.

Remember, Toronto was one of the top teams in the league last year despite only getting about 6 six weeks of above average goaltending all season.

I really like this signing. Hard to fault it at all, he's an RFA at the end so if he really takes off you aren't losing him for nothing very likely.

Overall, I really like the IDEA of betting on two higher risk, high ceiling options given the costs and lack of consistency available in this goalie market. All of the options feel like you are just hoping they are a legit starter, none have a track record of being one for any long stretch. It's like the Leafs went "I'd rather two 30% chances instead of one 50/50 shot". My only gripe is that Dubas got crushed in his trade negotiations with Ottawa, as I really feel Toronto at least should have gotten a 2nd and 3rd from Ottawa, or had them pay a 3rd team for more retention, but overall, given the market, I'd rather two high upside gambles with low commitment.

Maybe a Samsonov and Comrie tandem at $3.6M AAV would have been better than Murray / Samsonov at $6.5M.

The real starter of the team. Funny last year the starter Campbell was paid half of the back Mrazek now this year the starter Samanov the starter will get paid less than half as the backup Murray. Dubas at his half brain best.

Solid backup option for the Leafs. They've gotten 2 1B options so hopefully one can stay hot when the other it cold.


I like this acquisition as

If we think about it if Murray sucks but Samsonov thrives

Next offseason attatch a 2nd and dump 4.6mill Murray to Chicago (based on similar 1 year 5mill dumps) and then have Samsonov as the starter and sign a guy like Reimer to back him up

But if both rebound or only one does at least the other is capable of playing 30+ games
