It has been mentioned by some, but I don't think the arbitration process went well for Samsonov. It's basically your employer laying out how and why you suck and don't deserve anywhere near what you asking for.
2023-24 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion
- Thread starter herman
- Start date
There was some talk, as there should have been, about Marner passing Mahovlich for 7th in all time scoring amongst the Leafs.
I thought I'd mention a few notable upcoming developments in that area for Rielly.
Among Leafs dmen, he is 4th all time in games played right now and 12th among all Leafs players. At the end of his current contract in 2030, when he is 35, if he's still a Leaf (he has a NMC), he may be ahead of George Armstrong for the most games ever played for the franchise.
Rielly, with 78 goals, is 6 goals away from moving into 4th place all time for Leafs goal scoring by a dman behind Salming, Turnbull & Horton with 83 goals. He projects to be second behind Salming in 2030.
Rielly, with 368 assists, is in 8th place all time for Leafs assists. He projects to be third or so depending on Matthews & Nylander, behind Salming in 2030. Rielly is currently 3rd all time among Leafs dmen behind Kaberle & Salming. He projects to pass Kaberle before 2030.
Rielly is currently 19th in total scoring for Leafs all time. He projects to be 8th and 2nd behind Salming among dmen in 2030.
Rielly is quietly having a great career.

He was also on the ice for a bit before practice with Samsonov and the goalie coach. So just trying not to overwork him any more than they kinda already are.

Rielly has always been a player I felt was unfairly criticized. He has always came exactly as advertised. Expecting a big, shutdown type Dman was never going to happen. Yes he's had a couple down years, but he's a very strong #2/#3 dman that most teams would count themselves lucky to have.

Good for them.
If Jones hadn't come in and performed as well as he did, we might be having a different conversation. Six teams in the Wild Card race are within 5 pts of the Leafs. Jones helped the Leafs maintain a little breathing space when their starters got injured or collapsed.
That's another goalie performance I could never have predicted.

He's scored more goals in fewer games than Kadri as a Leaf.
He's scored more goals in fewer games than Norm Ullman (a HHOFer who enjoyed a resurgence on the Leafs as one of the first players to train during the summer)
If he's still here in a couple of seasons or so, he'll pass Wendel Clark on the all time Leafs goal scoring list.
Zero chance I would have ever predicted the above for Marner as the possibility wouldn't have entered my mind for consideration.

I agree, I was one calling for his head at one point, even though I love the guy. Perhaps Schenn did teach the dog a few new tricks as his play has generally be very good.

Yes, he'll be exempt from waivers until he spends 30 days on the NHL roster or plays in 10 games. Then he'll need to clear waivers again before being sent down.
