Overview
- Carolina claimed Primeau on Saturday, ending his brief stint in Toronto that began with an Oct. 6 waiver pickup from the Hurricanes.
- Primeau appeared in three games for the Maple Leafs, going 2-1-0 with a 4.30 goals-against average and roughly an .838 save percentage, including a six-goal outing on Oct. 29.
- The Maple Leafs placed him on waivers Friday to realign their goaltending as Woll nears an NHL return following his AHL tune-up.
- Under waiver rules, if Carolina was the lone claimant, the club can assign Primeau to AHL Chicago; he is on a one-year, one-way $775,000 contract.
- Carolina’s move aligns with earlier investment—a 2026 seventh-round pick and a summer signing—and could bolster AHL depth behind Nikita Quapp and Amir Miftakhov after the team earlier added Brandon Bussi for NHL depth.
