The Toronto Maple Leafs have furthered bolstered their organizational depth by making a couple of signings for the AHL Toronto Marlies team – and one of those players is a returning sibling.
Announced by the team this week, the Marlies have signed Alex Nylander, William’s brother, to a one-year AHL contract. In addition to the younger Nylander brother getting to stay in Toronto, the Marlies also signed forwards Brandon Baddock and Luke Grainger to one-year AHL contracts, as well.

After going through several NHL organizations ever since he was selected eighth overall by the Buffalo Sabres all the way back in 2016, Nylander seems to have found more stability in Toronto.
