dont think samsonov was the issue as he did play better tonight, the defense clearly needs an upgrade

Well, if the Leafs need one, don't you Montreal and Minnesota need one too? After all they allowed more goals in their two Leaf games.

I don’t know but samsonov has gotta put his big boy pants on and come out and play

Gibson says no and Verbeek says no to the retention, easily

I mean, samsonov hasnt had a great start to the season, but trading for a bottom 5 goalie for the past half decade isnt gonna fix that

Its October Leafs

Things are sloppy and they need to get in the groove

He was not the problem this game more so the defense in front

As they continue to play more things should stabilize. Tree will probs also look at potentially adding a Dman as we saw he is looking

Would not shock me if by Nov they fully dialed in and go almost undefeated lul

Also trading Sammy for Gibson no. Gibson isnt the guy he once was. What if we get him and he doesnt improve

To risky

Gibsons already has said no to Toronto, very publicly, and Anaheim's not eating half his contract for four seasons.

Mrazek is available. .934 SV%

Leafs fans do hate their own. I thought Samsonov played "well enough" tonite". And in the Montreal game, he stopped all three shoot out shots.
Imagine if the Leafs had lost their first two games, can you think of the posts that would be made on CapFriendly.

Massive overpay for Gibson. Rather have Sammy tbh, given both of their contracts

Maybe something like this:

Title: Bye Sammy

Trades

TOR:

1. Mrazek, Petr
2. Murphy, Connor ($ 2,200,000 retained)

Additional Details:
Mrazek is .934 SV%


CHI:
1. Samsonov, Ilya
2. Brodie, TJ
3. 2024 1st round pick (TOR)

A few of the goals have been terrible bounce that Sammy had no chance on unless the puck hit him. Leafs do need a net clearing d-man, Sammy can't stop what he can't see.

Too much

Run away Vezzina winner?
