The Toronto Maple Leafs received the arbitration results with restricted free agent Ilya Samsonov, which will see the Russian goalie earn a salary of $3.55 Million for the upcoming season.
With the results of the contract, the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to CapFriendly.com, are nearly $12.4 Million over the $83.5 Million NHL cap.
GM Brad Treliving will now have some work to do to get the team complaint.
The first move is the obvious and that is putting Jake Muzzin on Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR), which would remove his $5.625 Million cap hit.
