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.
