Report: Ilya Samsonov has signed with the Leafs
NHL: Stanley Cup Playoffs-Washington Capitals at Florida Panthers ? Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

The Leafs have finished assembling their goaltending by adding an intriguing young option.

Ilya Samsonov is a former first-round pick in the 2015 draft, who has spent the first three seasons of his career with the Capitals. While he showed significant promise in his rookie campaign, he had a rough go in his first full year as the undisputed starter.

He finished 2021-22 with a 23-12-5 record, a .896 SV%, and a 3.02 GAA. He also started five playoff games where he registered a .912 SV% and a 2.97 GAA in that span.

More to come.
