After a poor season between the pipes so far, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made a big decision regarding one of their goaltenders.
On Sunday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Maple Leafs have placed goaltender Ilya Samsonov on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the American Hockey League.
