Breaking: Ilya Samsonov Signs in Toronto and it Could be a Steal
During the last few minutes, it was announced that goaltender Ilya Samsonov has signed a new contract.
We are talking about a one-season contract with a total value of 3.55 million dollars. He will be a free agent next summer.
The negotiations between Samsonov's camp and Toronto were so difficult that an arbitrator had to make the decision.
