Ilya Samsonov elects for salary arbitration, could the Toronto Maple Leafs trade Nick Robertson?



Ilya Samsonov has elected to go to salary arbitration with the Toronto Maple Leafs as he looks to get his contract sorted out for next season. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti discuss why this shouldn’t come as a surprise. They debate what Samsonov should make on his next contract and what room the team will need to make sure his cap hit fits. Mike and Dave look at a report that Nick Robertson could be on the move in order to incentivize a team to take on Matt Murray’s contract. To end the show, Mike and Dave wonder if there is any legitimacy of T.J. Brodie being on the trade block and if it would be a wise move for the Leafs.

  1. PLEASE trade Robertson. He's way too small, injury prone already….trade him as a sweetener before his value sinks even more than it has. Leafs need to get BIGGER, not smaller. We got Knies…. he'll be a great rookie

  2. Samsonov deserves $3.5 ~ 4 Mill, according to the current market, ESPECIALLY if he's the undisputed "starter" in Toronna. The Leaves may not want to pay that, but that's due to their insane overall salary structure (You go, Kyle!), and not Samsonov's fault.

  3. I wonder if Dallas would bite on Robertson in a trade …see what they would offer… maybe a bigger deal. Simply because of the "brother factor"

  4. Give that barber an extra $5-10 and ask for a little more off, you slept on it and thought a little more could be taken off. So just ask politely if it’s a possibility.
