This is not a surprise by any means, but it looks to be all but confirmed at this point. Wish Sammy nothing but the best

As expected. Hes a decent starter for a fringe team. At best
SoupOfSomeYoungGuy
As they should. He’s had trouble being healthy and good lately.

I hear Washington needs a goalie. 😉

For the best. He’s a decent goalie who can put together a string of great games but he’s too inconsistent to be a bonafide starter. Wish him the best.

Probably the least surprising news this Summer for the Leafs.
I like Sammy. Seems like a good guy, and when he’s hot, he’s a genuine talent. But he’s just TOO inconsistent. It’s a coin flip whether he’ll save his team when he’s in net, or cost them the game, and we just can’t have that.
Until he finds that stability and consistency, he’s going to struggle to find long term opportunities. I hope he does, one day.

I assume this means we have something in the works, because we need someone who can play at least 40 games and more than likely will have to play more than 40 with Woll’s injury history.

Too bad so sad

I’ll miss him 😢

Right call by both parties.
Wish him the best. Very likeable guy but we all need a change.

Only leafs goalie since Belfour to win a playoff series so that’s something. Understandable why he’s going elsewhere though

He’s not going to win you a cup, decent 1B or backup though.

Watch Samsonov reach the conference finals next year wherever he lands.

Kinda like Freddie I’m sure he’ll do well wherever he goes. Just got stale with us unfortunately. Wish him the best.

Just the same sentiment here. I had high hopes for the guy who is clearly capable of being a talented goalie but it ain’t gonna be in Toronto. Hopefully he gets a good therapist this summer and gets out of his own head. On that note let’s hope Woll gets in some tough ass shape this off season and kills it next year! These guys need to spend less time golfing. We deserve better.

Toronto is a tough hockey market.
He’s going to land on his feet somewhere, best for him it’s where the spotlight shines a bit less bright.

He needs to go play in Anaheim once they move Gibson. Or somewhere low key and just focus on being goalie. He’s too hard on himself and that won’t work here.

good riddance

I don’t think there’s a better ufa goalie than Sammy. I also think he’s not gonna take a pay cut. Toronto’s D did him no favors last year, it’s a tough call. Wish him luck wherever he goes

Whoever signs him long-term will regret it

They confirmed this in the press conference after they hired Berube

Best of luck to him elsewhere, he was a treat to watch in 2022-23.

Great guy, wish we could have kept him as a 1b, but no starter makes it impossible.
