Toronto Maple Leafs in Serious Cap Debt After Their Recent Announcement

Ilya Samsonov, the Toronto Maple Leafs' goaltender, secured a one-year contract worth $3.55MM in his arbitration case, per The Athletic's James Mirtle. The award falls close to the midpoint between his $4.9MM request and the Leafs' $2.4MM offer.

After signing players like Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi, John Klingberg, and Ryan Reaves this offseason, the team faces limited cap space. Currently at negative $12.38M, they are in a challenging situation, possibly requiring a trade or buyout to manage their finances.

This significant cap deficit poses a formidable hurdle for the Leafs as they strive to stay competitive in the upcoming season.
