Report: Maple Leafs place Cayden Primeau on waivers

2 minutes, 12 seconds Read

The Toronto Maple Leafs have reportedly placed goaltender Cayden Primeau on waivers, according to TSN’s Chris Johnston.

This comes after Joseph Woll was assigned to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL for a conditioning period, with the expectation that he will play in Saturday’s game against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. It’s unclear who will replace Primeau in the interim at the time of filing, but the likely outcome is that Dennis Hildeby withdraws from contention and could get the nod for Sunday’s Leafs game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Woll has been training with the team since October 29 and skated as Anthony Stolarz’s backup during Friday’s practice.

“It’s great to have him back. I’ve said before: we have an incredible relationship,” Stolarz said of Woll on Friday. “To have him around us again and that competitive nature that he brings and his high energy, it’s nice to have back in the room. As a goalkeeper you always support each other and everything. So I think it’s huge to have him back, not only for the team, but for me as well.”

Primeau was originally claimed by the Leafs on October 6, at a time when Woll was away from the team on his personal leave, and the only other option besides Hidleby was James Reimer on a PTO. Reimer was released from his PTO not long after the waiver claim, and Primeau had spent the first part of the season as Stolarz’s backup.
After appearing in three games thus far, Primeau has posted a 2-1-0 record, an .838 SV% and a 4.30 GAA. His last start was against the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 29, where he allowed six goals on 24 shots and looked lost in the crease.

If he clears waivers on Saturday at 2 p.m., the Leafs could have no problem assigning him directly to the Marlies. If he is claimed by another team, they can remain vigilant on the waiver wire or transfer their trust to Dennis Hildeby.
