Brad Treliving staged a cap-savvy Leafs shuffle, waiving Cayden Primeau and Sammy Blais and adding Jacob Quillan to tuck the club under the $95.5M ceiling by about $19,000. Easton Cowan and Dennis Hildeby were left off the opening roster, with Marlies recalls possible.

Primeau backs up Stolarz; Reimer was released from his PTO. Berube praised Cowan and Hildeby; Blais’ Blues ties surface. It’s a cap-and-development bet, pairing veteran depth with rising talent while keeping Toronto flexible for injuries and late-signing moves.
