In a recent intervention on Sportsnet, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirmed that the Toronto Maple Leafs have been actively exploring the trade market, specifically in search of a new goaltender.
Acquiring a new goalie is likely to come at a substantial cost for the Leafs. Moreover, given Samsonov's recent problems, there may be limited interest from other teams. If the Leafs decide to trade Samsonov, it might necessitate sweetening the deal with a prospect or a draft pick.
