Nathan Walker and Riley Barber Gone, Caps sign Philippe Maillet

The Caps have announced they have signed Philippe Maillet to a two-year, $700K AAV, two-way contract. This is likely a move to help Hershey after forwards Nathan Walker and Riley Barber signed contracts with St. Louis and Montreal.

Maillet, 26, went undrafted and has spent the last two seasons with the Ontario Reign.

Last season, Maillet had 16 goals, 34 assists for 54 points in 68 games.

Undercover great move for Hershey. Maillet was excellent for an Ontario team that had very down season. The classic late-bloomer type.https://t.co/o5H1yddhKo#NHL #AHL #FreeAgency
