Over the last 24 hours, many were pondering whether or not a team would place a waiver claim on the Magnitogorsk, Russia native and now we know the answer to that question.
So far this season, Samsonov has a record of 5-2-6 in 15 games with a goals against average of 3.94, an .862 save percentage and one shutout.
Samsonov, 26, is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2023-24 season and will no doubt test the market when it opens up on July 1st. This past summer, Samsonov was awarded a one-year contract worth $3.55 million following an arbitration hearing.
