Ilya Samsonov played his last game with the Toronto Maple Leafs

Joseph Woll proved that he is worth keeping for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is a younger guy looking to find a consistent role in the NHL.

That means that Ilya Samsonov is likely out. He is on an expiring contract and has probably played his last game in a Leafs sweater.

Samsonov had a good game seven but he gave up a bad tying goal to Hampus Lindholm. If the Leafs would have gotten a save there, David Pastrnak would have never scored in overtime to send the Boston Bruins to the second round instead.

Samsonov went 23-7-8 in the regular season which is nice but he had a 3.13 goals against average and a .890 save percentage.

He had a bad year but played for a good team so his record was better. He often received the goal support needed to win.

Woll can't do it by himself nor should he be expected to do it by himself. However, Samsonov is not the guy to pair with him next year. They need to address this.
