Arbitration Hearings: Samsonov's Case is Tomorrow
Tomorrow, an unbiased person will decide how much Samsonov should be paid, and fans are starting to feel anxious.
The Leafs want to sign a contract for $2.4 million, but Samsonov is proposing a much higher amount of $4.9 million.
$2.4 million may seem like a small sum for a starting goalie, while $4.9 million might be seen as too much for a goalie who has only had one great year. As we mentioned before, the final decision will probably end up somewhere in between.
However, there's a recent update that could completely change the situation.
