More Cuts From Penguins’ Camp Roster Coming Quickly
More cuts are likely right around the corner for the Pittsburgh Penguins training camp roster.
Training camp is in full swing and three preseason games have been played and the Pittsburgh Penguins are getting tuned up for a new year.
While players battle for spots on the Penguins lineup, an opening round of cuts have already been made to the training camp roster.
While the first handful of names have been sent either to their junior team or the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, more players will likely follow soon.
At the moment, the Penguins are still sporting two full teams at training camp.
Judging by the training camp schedule posted by the Penguins, the roster will be trimmed to just a single time by the end of the week.
That doesn’t give bubble players very much more time to make impressions on the organization.
Guys like Radim Zohorna, Sam Poulin, and Alex Nylander are forcing their names into conversations for legitimate roster spots, but there are only so many open roles to fill.
According to head coach Mike Sullivan, the Penguins will slowly start working veteran players into the lineup for the remaining preseason games.
With more veterans in the lineup, bubble players likely get pushed out and unable to show their worth.
Some key players fighting for roles only have a few days left to make an impression, and the intensity at camp should ramp up.
There weren’t many surprises in the first round of cuts to the training camp roster, but the next round could see some shocking moves.
