Ilya Samsonov, formerly of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has reportedly signed a one-year contract with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Samsonov, aged 27, faced challenges during the 2023-24 season with the Maple Leafs. Despite this, the Golden Knights have opted to sign the free agent goalie to a one-year deal in Vegas. While there's been no official announcement, multiple sources have confirmed this development.
Samsonov will need to demonstrate NHL-level performance to secure his place in the league. However, with the Golden Knights' formidable defensive lineup, his role could be more manageable than it was in Toronto.
