The Toronto Maple Leafs have released Josh Ho-Sang from his professional tryout contract as the forward has signed a one-year deal with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
As Sportsnet’s Luke Fox reports, by agreeing to an AHL deal Ho-Sang doesn’t need to pass through waivers and can sign him to an NHL deal if he gets promoted.
The 25-year-old joined the Leafs in an attempt to restart his NHL career after getting placed on waivers by the New York Islanders in January 2021. He spent the 2020-21 season in the Swedish Hockey League with Örebro HK and Linköping HC.
The Thornhill, Ont., native was selected by the Islanders 28th overall in the 2014 NHL Draft.
