Now it seems Dubas and the Leafs are dipping into the free agent pool for additional help. According to Arthur Staple of The Athletic the Maple Leafs will sign Ilya Samsonov to be part of their goalie tandem.
Samsonov was not qualified by the Washington Capitals earlier this week and is looking for a bounce back opportunity with a new team. Samsonov struggled last season with Washington but with new Leafs goalie coach Curtis Sanford it could be a good match.
