Today, the Bruins announced that they were cutting ten players from their roster: Colby Cave and Colton Hargrove would join camp invitees Andrew Cherniwchan, Max Everson, Matthew Ginn, Max Iafrate, Eric Neiley and Frankie Simonelli in Providence, as well as sending Zachary Senyshyn and Jeremy Lauzon to their junior teams (the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Royun-Noranda Huskies, respectively)
This is a surprise, because GMs generally don't give up on first-rounders so early in camp, and it would be in Don Sweeney's best interest to keep Senyshyn in the camp so he could prove the Senyshyn pick was the right one. Well, I guess Don Sweeney's ability to make cuts when he needs to is a good thing. But who will he cut next?
EDIT: By the way, for those wondering, the training camp roster now looks like this:
Forwards: Noel Acciari, Matt Beleskey, Patrice Bergeron, Anton Blidh, Anthony Camara, Brett Connolly, Austin Czarnik, Brandon DeFazio, Loui Eriksson, Brian Ferlin, Seth Griffith, Jimmy Hayes, Justin Hickman, Chris Kelly, Joonas Kemppainen, Alexander Khokhlachev, David Krejci, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, Zack Phillips, Tyler Randell, Zac Rinaldo, Ben Sexton, Ryan Spooner, Max Talbot, Frank Vatrano
Defensemen: Linus Arnesson, Chris Breen, Brandon Carlo, Chris Casto, Zdeno Chara, Tommy Cross, Matt Irwin, Torey Krug, Adam McQuaid, Colin Miller, Kevan Miller, Joe Morrow, Dennis Seidenberg, Zach Trotman, Ben Youds, Jakub Zboril
Goalies: Jonas Gustavsson*, Zane McIntyre, Tuukka Rask, Jeremy Smith, Malcolm Subban
* An asterisk indicates that a player is on a PTO. Italics denote that the player in question only has an AHL contract. If a player's name is underlined, then that means the player is injured.
