Maple Leafs reassign Minten to WHL's Blazers

The Toronto Maple Leafs reassigned Fraser Minten to the WHL's Kamloops Blazers on Friday.

Minten, 19, unexpectedly made the Maple Leafs roster out of camp as the team's third-line center. He played in four games - recording no points - and was a healthy scratch for Toronto's two most recent contests.

The 2022 second-round pick can't be recalled by the Maple Leafs from the WHL except in emergency roster situations.

In a subsequent roster move, Toronto recalled defenseman William Lagesson from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Jake McCabe's status for Saturday's contest against the Nashville Predators remains uncertain.
