Oct 5, 2025, Carolina picked up Bussi off waivers and waived Cayden Primeau, who the Leafs picked up briefly ...
Primeau was destined to join the Chicago Wolves in the AHL and that is where he wound up when the Leafs waived him.
Primeau was starting for the Chicago Wolves until they went down 2-3 to Colorado. Chicago gave the starting job to their backup who won the last 2 games to beat Colorado and get them to the finals to face the Toronto Marlies.
Bussi might be starting game 4 of the Cup Finals tonight.
I don't know if Primeau is starting in the Calder Cup finals.
But there are reports Cayden Primeau is embarking on "From Russia with Love" in the KHL next season.
In October, you're the backup for the eventual Stanley Cup finalist (and maybe winner).
In June, you're looking at playing in Russia.
It is just a game but the players on the fringes do not have it easy.

NHL.com Jets sign defenceman Henry Thrun to a one-year contract
www.nhl.com
Thrun was top pairing left dman for Calder Cup Marlies with Benning on the right side when Benning was healthy
Obviously, they did well.
With McCabe, Rielly, OEL and Andrae ahead of him, he probably saw no great path to the NHL
He signed a 2 way for $850k in NHL, $450K in AHL
With all the forwards Chayka signed, some Marlies forwards may feel similarly.

Thrun, 25, played four games for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2025-26, but spent most of the season helping the AHL’s Toronto Marlies on their path to capturing the 2026 Calder Cup.

Thrun was very good for the Marlies. One of their main PKers. A little surprised they let him go but I certainly didn't see every game he played like management would have.
