Wait, it’s not? Well, what else could you have been hoping for?
Earlier this morning, the Toronto Marlies announced that they had signed forward Nicholas Baptiste to a one-year, AHL deal. As is the case with pretty much every AHL-specific contract, the financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
From an immediate standpoint, Baptiste is quite an interesting player. Selected 69th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres, he’s spent brief stints at the NHL to similarly muted degrees of success, between both Buffalo’s system and that of the Nashville Predators before joining the Marlies at the 2019 trade deadline.
