Ilya Samsonov's Fate Confirmed Following Waivers
The waiver placement meant that every NHL team had the opportunity to claim Samsonov for free, but it has been confirmed that he cleared waivers.
The Maple Leafs have outlined a plan to help him regain confidence. According to insider Kevin Weekes, the team will utilize resources such as development coaches and mental skills coaches, implementing a comprehensive approach to support Samsonov. If he clears waivers, there are no immediate plans for him to play in AHL Marlies games this week.
The hope is that this focused approach will help Samsonov rediscover his form and return to the NHL with renewed confidence.
