Samsonov joined the Maple Leafs as an unrestricted free agent on a one-year, $1.8-million contract last season. He opened the season in tandem with Matt Murray but took over the next by mid-season and started for the Maple Leafs in the playoffs.
Samsonov, 26, had a career-high .919 save percentage last season and a 27-10-5 record in 42 games.
