In a recent contract negotiation battle that had NHL fans on the edge of their seats, the Toronto Maple Leafs managed to secure their talented goaltender, Ilya Samsonov, with a one-year deal worth a substantial $3.55 million.
The negotiations came to a head during an intense arbitration hearing, where both parties initially stood far apart in their demands. Samsonov, seeking $4.9 million, and the team offering $2.4 million, left fans uncertain about the outcome.
However, the resolution ultimately favored the Leafs, keeping their standout netminder in the fold for the upcoming season.
On the other side of the ice, the Boston Bruins faced their goaltending quandary as Jeremy Swayman and his agent, Lewis Gross, were not content with the Bruins' qualifying offer.
