Overview
- The Maple Leafs placed Bo Groulx on NHL waivers on Monday and he cleared the 24‑hour claim window on Tuesday, so he remains with the Toronto organization.
- NHL waivers give all 31 other clubs one day to claim a player and, if no claim is made, the original team can assign him to its AHL affiliate.
- Groulx is a 26‑year‑old forward who had a strong 2025–26 AHL season with 28 goals and 52 points and helped the Marlies win the Calder Cup.
- Despite his AHL success, Groulx has struggled to stick in the NHL this season, going scoreless in seven appearances while averaging about eight minutes of ice time per game.
- Groulx’s one‑way contract with an $812,500 cap hit made him a plausible waiver target, but no team claimed him and Toronto now can send him to the Marlies to get regular minutes and boost organizational depth.
