Thrun was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.
Thrun, acquired in a trade over the offseason by Toronto, 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.

Maple Leafs' Henry Thrun: Moved to Toronto
Rotowire
Thrun was traded to the Maple Leafs from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Reaves.
This is a bit of an odd trade on the surface for the Sharks, and one that may not benefit Thrun on an individual level. San Jose's offseason acquisitions of John Klingberg, Nick Leddy and Dmitry Orlov brought a more veteran group of defenders into the mix, which may have left Thrun without a regular role in 2025-26. That said, he's no lock to play with his new team, and he almost certainly won't be in the power-play mix immediately with Toronto. Thrun had 12 points in 60 appearances in 2024-25, and if he can't win a job in training camp, he may have to spend part of the year with AHL Toronto.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Thrun (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Edmonton, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Thrun has missed 13 of the Sharks' last 14 games due to his injury, but he's trending toward a return to game action. However, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday that he isn't yet sure whether Thrun will be able to suit up against the Oilers. Even if Thrun requires at least one more game on the shelf, it seems possible that he could return Saturday against Seattle or Monday against Calgary.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Competing for playing time
Rotowire
Thrun has played in six of the Sharks' 10 games in December.
Thrun is filling a part-time role, competing with other young defensemen like Timothy Liljegren and Shakir Mukhamadullin. One of those blueliners will likely exit the lineup when Jake Walman (lower body) returns from his injury. The 23-year-old Thrun was in the power-play mix early in the year but hasn't seen much time in that situation lately. He has gone seven games without a point and has recorded eight assists, 25 shots on net, 24 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 30 appearances this season.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Produces pair of assists in loss
Rotowire
Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Thrun is up to three helpers through 14 contests this season. He's added 10 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating while filling a bottom-four role. Thrun has been scratched once, but he should be in the lineup at least as long as Jake Walman (upper body) is contending with an injury. Thrun's lack of power-play time is likely to limit his fantasy value to the deepest of formats.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Manages helper
Rotowire
Thrun posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
The helper was Thrun's first point in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has played on the third pairing primarily, and while he saw 1:50 of power-play time Monday, that was due to Jack Thompson being a healthy scratch. Thrun's defense hasn't exactly been great -- he's posted a minus-9 rating with nine PIM, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and seven shots on net so far. Without consistent power-play time, the American blueliner likely won't be an option in fantasy.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Two assists in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Thrun's offense has come to life late in the season -- he has a goal and four assists over his last four contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is at three goals, seven helpers, 47 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 48 appearances. While he hasn't done a lot, he's seeing significant minutes and some power-play time that gives him upside in deeper fantasy formats over the final week of the campaign.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Produces assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Thrun logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.
The helper was Thrun's first point since Jan. 9, ending his nine-game drought. He missed six contests in that span due to a shoulder injury. Thrun has four points, 29 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating over 26 appearances at the NHL level this season. He's got some potential, but he's unlikely to realize most of it in 2023-24 while playing for one of the league's worst offenses.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Officially ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Thrun (shoulder) will not be in action versus the Sabres on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
With Thrun unavailable, the 22-year-old Shakir Mukhamadullin is expected to make his NHL debut and could even see time on the second power-play unit. For his part, Thrun has managed just three points in 23 games this season and probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside moving forward.
