Overview
- Toronto placed Cayden Primeau on waivers Friday, opening a 24-hour window for other teams to submit a claim.
- Woll will join the Marlies on a conditioning loan this weekend, and if Primeau clears, he could remain on the NHL roster briefly during that stint.
- Because Toronto previously claimed Primeau from Carolina, the Hurricanes could reclaim him and assign him directly to the AHL Chicago Wolves if they are the only team to file a claim.
- Primeau carries a one-way $775,000 contract, a cost that factors into whether a team would stash him in the AHL.
- Toronto claimed Primeau on Oct. 6 after Carolina acquired him from Montreal for a 2026 seventh-round pick, and he made three appearances for the Leafs, with Dennis Hildeby noted as a possible short-term recall if he is claimed.
