Here’s what Renaud Lavoie said about it:

Meanwhile, Marco D’Amico had this to say:
“This was the risk I believed could happen with Samuel Blais, should the Canadiens decide to go with 13 forwards.
He showed good things at camp and has been claimed by Toronto, along with Cayden Primeau, to add to their depth.” – Marco D’Amico

In my eyes, letting Blais go is going to hurt a lot.
Seeing him in a Leafs uniform will twist the knife in the wound even more
