The 28-year-old has signed a one-year deal with Toronto, making him the second veteran on the team with an AHL contract. Joining the Marlies later in the season due to a knee surgery done in the spring of 2021, Blandisi was able to make the most out of his shortened year.

He spent a lot of games bouncing around Toronto’s top-six, finishing the season with 12 goals and 29 points in 43 games.
