Sunday evening the Toronto Maple Leafs made a trade with the Nashville Predators where they acquired Nicholas Baptiste, who is on an NHL contract for AHLer Emerson Clark.
This is a move the Leafs made for the Marlies, not for any NHL help. After losing Carl Grundstrom in the trade that brought in Jake Muzzin, and then losing the likes of Sam Gagner (traded by Canucks to Oilers), Mason Marchment (collarbone injury), and Chris Mueller (hamstring injury) they needed the help.
