Julien BriseBois’ attempt to rebuild the 2022-23 Toronto Marlies roster continued on Monday as he claimed Curtis Douglas off of waivers from the Utah Mammoth. Douglas, a 6’9″, 242 lb. forward, was teammates in Toronto with Nick Abruzzese and Pontus Holmberg during the season the Marlies were knocked out of the playoffs in the North Division Finals by Rochester. Since then, the center has spent the last three seasons with the Tucson Roadrunners after he was traded for Conor Timmons in 2022.
It’s an interesting move for the Lightning, who had seemingly finalized their roster after putting Declan Carlile on waivers on Sunday (it appears he cleared).
