Dakota Mermis - Among Leafs final cuts Mermis was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

Impact Mermis will likely begin the season with AHL Toronto, where he had seven assists in 32 appearances last season. The 31-year-old did get into three games with the Maple Leafs last season, picking up one assist, but will likely need an injury to the current defense group to add to that total this season.

Matthew Benning - Waived by Toronto Benning was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Benning made some appearances with the Sharks early in the 2024-25 campaign, but he played exclusively for AHL Toronto after being dealt to the Maple Leafs in early November. He'll presumably head back to the AHL if he clears waivers, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of this season in the minors.

Henry Thrun - Placed on waivers Thrun was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Thrun, acquired in a trade over the offseason by the Maple Leafs, will likely begin his Maple Leafs tenure in the AHL, assuming he clears waivers. In 60 games with San Jose last year, the 24-year-old had two goals and 10 assists while averaging 17:31 of ice time per night.

Michael Pezzetta - Hits waivers for AHL assignment Pezzetta was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sportsreports Sunday.

Impact Pezzetta joined the Maple Leafs after spending the vast majority of last year with the Canadiens as a healthy scratch. He only got in 25 games with Montreal last year and did not record a point in a single one. The 27-year-old will now likely head to the AHL, where if he suits up for a game, will be the first AHL action he's seen since the 2021-22 season.

Justin Holl - Placed on waivers Holl was placed on waivers by the Red Wings, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

Impact Holl was placed on the waivers ahead of final cuts by the Red Wings last year, but he went on to play 73 games at the NHL level, going for eight points. This season, the Red Wings are once again placing the 33-year-old on waivers. He is in the last year of a three-year, $10.2 million ($3.4 million AAV).

Erik Gustafsson - Hits waivers for AHL assignment Gustafsson was placed on waivers by the Red Wings, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Gustafsson was one of a handful of normal NHL regular who hit the waiver wire Sunday. The 33-year-old ended the season injured last year, but notched 18 points in the 60 games he did play. If Gustafsson suits up in an AHL game, it will be for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
