The Toronto Marlies have signed two defenders, Michael Kapla and Ryan Johnston, to AHL deals.
This is the season for AHL signings, and this time the Marlies found someone who isn’t going to be shocked by a St. John’s winter if he ends up there. It’s very likely that any defender added to the Marlies is going to the ECHL, since the team has eight defenders on NHL deals and then a few more on AHL contracts, but both of these players look like quality AHL depth signings. The battle will be on in training camp.
