Baptiste was reassigned to the minors Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After picking up Phil Di Giuseppe off waivers, the Predators sent Baptiste to the minors since his services as a spare forward were no longer needed. The 23-year-old winger has yet to appear in a game for Nashville this season and could struggle to break into the lineup at any point the rest of the way.

Baptiste was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With both Kyle Turris (lower body) and Colton Sissons (lower body) dealing with injuries, the club needed an extra forward ahead of the club's clash with Washington on Monday. Whether Baptiste actually slots into the lineup remains to be seen, but Rocco Grimaldi figures to be the odd man out if he does in fact play.

Baptiste was waived by the Sabres on Saturday, Capfriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baptiste played in 33 games for Buffalo last year, recording six points, but it looks like the offseason moves and infusion of prospects have forced him out of a roster spot. He'll look to earn a call-up later in the season.

Baptiste inked a one-year, two-way deal with the Sabres on Saturday worth $788,000, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Picked 69th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Baptiste was on the ice for a career-high 33 games last season. Still just 22 years old, he still has plenty of time to expand on his potential. In 47 career games, he's recorded seven goals and three assists.

Baptiste was tendered a qualifying offer from the Sabres on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Baptiste was on the ice for a career-high 33 games during the 2017-18 season, tallying four goals and two assists during that stretch. While he was stuck in a bottom-six role, Baptiste still showed plenty of potential and at just 22 years old, will get at least one more year to develop with the Sabres following Monday's qualifying offer.

EDGE Analysis
Baptiste was stuck in a bottom-six role in 33 games for the Sabres, averaging 9:58 of ice time per contest. However, the 22-year-old potted four goals and added two helpers in that span. Baptiste will be eligible for the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Baptiste scored twice, including the game winner, in Saturday's 5-3 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
It was a dream game for Baptiste. Not only did he score the winner, but it was his first multi-goal game in the NHL. Baptiste doesn't have much fantasy value right now, but it's still nice to note memorable games.

Baptiste was reassigned to AHL Rochester in a paper move on Monday, John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This means that Baptiste was only technically assigned to the AHL and will actually be staying with the Sabres. This was just to make the 22-year-old eligible for the AHL postseason. Baptiste has played 14 games with Buffalo this year, but he's only averaged 8:45 per contest in ice time.

Baptiste was recalled from AHL Rochester on Sunday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jack Eichel (ankle) out indefinitely, Baptiste figures to see some playing time in the coming weeks. The 22-year-old forward has played eight NHL games this season, scoring just one goal. There are better fantasy replacements for Eichel and Baptiste can be left on the waiver wire.

Baptiste was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu was activated, which meant somebody had to be returned to the minors to make room. That somebody was Baptiste. The 22-year-old played in four games after being called up in January, scoring his first goal, and point, of the season.
