Samsonov battled through several ups and downs for the Leafs in 23/24.
In late December he looked as though he had lost all of his confidence and was battling to simply stay in the NHL.
Samsonov deserves credit for his performance in the second half of the season. He was a completely different goalie from January - through the end of the year.
His numbers, overall, don't stand out as overly positive.
Samsonov ended the season with a 23-7-8 record. He posted a 3.13 GAA and .890 save percentage.
In his final twenty-five game segment he provided a 2.95 GAA, paired with an .898 save percentage.
Samsonov's game runs in streaks. His athletic style can lead to some hectic moments tracking the play and finding pucks in traffic and off the flanks.
Samsonov is a pending UFA who was paid $3.55M last season.
Toronto needs a more consistent number one goalie.
