"The Toronto Maple Leafs made two interesting waiver claims ahead of Monday's roster deadline. The first was forward Sammy Blais from the Montreal Canadiens. As my colleague Thomas Williams noted earlier, Blais was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the AHL. The Habs hoped to sneak him through, but it didn't work. The other Maple Leafs' waiver claim was goalie Cayden Primeau."
"So, the Leafs, needing goaltending insurance, chose to nab Primeau. That waiver claim meant the end of the line for former Toronto netminder James Reimer. The club officially announced it had released the netminder from his PTO. The Maple Leafs have released G James Reimer from his Professional Tryout (PTO).- Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) October 6, 2025 The writing was on the wall for the 37-year-old veteran after the awful game he had in the preseason finale against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night."
The Toronto Maple Leafs claimed forward Sammy Blais from the Montreal Montreal Canadiens and goaltender Cayden Primeau from the Carolina Hurricanes via waivers ahead of the roster deadline. Montreal had placed Blais on waivers for AHL assignment but lost him. Carolina had signed Primeau for insurance then cut him, allowing Toronto to add goaltending depth. Toronto released veteran James Reimer from a Professional Tryout after a poor preseason finale in which he surrendered four goals and an overtime winner. Multiple NHL clubs are exploring goaltending depth, so Reimer could receive another opportunity despite recent struggles.
