Rotowire
Villeneuve was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Villeneuve signed a two-way deal with the Maple Leafs in August, but he'll begin the 2025-26 regular season with AHL Toronto if he clears waivers. He recorded four goals, 36 assists and 42 PIM over 55 regular-season appearances with the Marlies last year.

Villeneuve agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Toronto on Tuesday.
Villeneuve increased his production with AHL Toronto in 2024-25 compared to his first two full seasons in the minors, posting four goals, 40 points and a plus-17 rating over 55 regular-season appearances. The 23-year-old will continue to provide organizational depth in 2025-26, as the Maple Leafs have a veteran-laden blue line, though he should have an opportunity to make the team out of training camp in the fall.
