Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee are back from their holiday break, and discuss Ilya Samsonov getting waived over the past few days. Is it a good thing for Samsonov to be sent down, what would success look like for the beleaguered goaltender in the AHL, and what would it take for the Leafs to call him back up? Plus, they get to the corresponding move that saw the team call up Dennis Hildeby from the Marlies and chat about what it would take for him to see a start on the road trip out west. Afterwards, they get to the latest on William Nylander's contract negotiations.
