Cayden Primeau Placed on NHL Waivers by Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Cayden Primeau was placed on NHL waivers on Friday, November 7, 2025, making him available for other teams to claim. The Maple Leafs had initially acquired Primeau off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes before the current 2025-26 season, giving the Hurricanes a chance to bring him back. Should he clear waivers, Primeau will be assigned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies. In three appearances for the Maple Leafs this season, he recorded a 2-1-0 record with a 4.30 goals-against average and an .838 save percentage, including a six-goal loss on October 29. This move coincides with Joseph Woll's impending return from a leave of absence, as Woll is set to begin a conditioning stint with the Marlies. Primeau's career NHL stats across seven seasons with Montreal and Toronto stand at 15-25-7 with a .882 save percentage.
