Ilya Samsonov just landed at a near perfect price for the Toronto Maple Leafs, albeit with very little reason for either party to feel good.
Coming in at $3.55 million for the next year, Ilya Samsonov offers a potential bargain deal for the Toronto Maple Leafs, if he stays fit and can meet the expectations he set last season.
However, the fact it took an arbitration hearing to get to that number and the fact that the Leafs essentially low-balled him could leave a bitter taste in the mouth at the end of that one-year term.
