At least for the time being, Justin Bailey and Nicholas Baptiste are set to begin another hockey season in the American Hockey League with the Rochester Americans.
The two Buffalo Sabres prospects were both sent through waivers over the weekend. Both cleared, and as a result, have been assigned to the AHL club once more.
Both have seen some NHL time over the past few seasons, but have never been able to stick onto the roster full-time. Though they both lasted through much of this year’s training camp, in the end, there just wasn’t a spot for them on the NHL roster - and at this point, it may bring into question if either could be a full-time NHLer in the future.
