The Boston Bruins made moves to reduce their camp to a more manageable roster yesterday and getting closer to finalizing their opening night roster.
Tuesday began with placing Joona Koppanen, Cameron Hughes and Tyler Lewington on waivers. NHL teams have until 2:00 PM Wednesday to put in a claim. Those moves were then followed by sending Kyle Keyser, Nick Wolff, Samuel Asselin and Curtis Hall to the Providence Bruins.
Along with the 14 forwards and 8 defensemen on one-way deals here are the players vying for spots:
Forwards:
Jack Studnicka, Jakub Lauko, Jesper Froden, Oskar Steen, Matt Filipe, Steven Fogarty, Anton Blidh and Karson Kuhlman.
Defencemen:
Jack Ahcan, Urho Vaakanainen, and Brady Lyle.
Along with Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark, Troy Grosenick remains with the big club.
Barring an injury to start the season, one of the players on a one-way deal will find himself on the outside looking in. That could be between Karson Kuhlman and Chris Wagner.
