The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed goaltender Cayden Primeau on waivers Friday afternoon. All 31 other NHL teams have until Saturday at 2:00 p.m. to claim the netminder but we suspect there won't be many clamoring for his services.

The Maple Leafs originally acquired Primeau from the waiver wire on October 7, just before the season got going as someone not named James Reimer to be the temporary replacement of Joseph Woll. While the regular member of the Leafs tandem was dealing with a personal issue and on a leave of absence from the team, Primeau was going to be the stopgap so Anthony Stolarz did not need to make every single save until Woll returned.
