Ryan O’Reilly and Luke Schenn were just a couple of Maple Leafs who all found new hopes when free agency opened in July. Here’s a breakdown of who went where. Ilya Samsonov will earn $3.55 million next season An independent arbitrator ruled on the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender's salary following an arbitration hearing on Friday. The 26-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent after the one-year contract expires at the end of the 2023-24 season. Both sides were unable to come to terms on a new contract before the hearing began on Friday. The goaltender filed for arbitration earlier in the month after a standout first season with the Maple Leafs in which he posted a 27-10-5 record and a .919 save percentage. Samsonov's $3.55 million deal would put the Maple Leafs at approximately $11.6 million over the salary cap next season. However, it’s likely that Jake Muzzin’s contract $5.625 million cap for 2023-24) will be on long-term injured reserve in order to ensure the club isn’t over its off-season cap of 83.5 million plus 10 percent. Following the award, the Maple Leafs have opened up a second buyout window that could help them alleviate some salary cap space. There have been rumblings about what Toronto might do with goaltender Matt Murray, who has a cap hit of $4.6875 million for the upcoming season.
