Should we be reading into these rosters at all? Like...how Chytil and Andersson and Howden are the only regulars from last year playing in a kids game?

 

They're younger than most of the "kids" on that list.

 

Makes sense that the coaches would want to see them all together. It's a good way to see who stands out.

The New York Rangers announced today that the team has trimmed its Training Camp roster by seven players.

 

Francois Brassard, Ryan Gropp, Tom McCollum, Ville Meskanen, and Ty Ronning have all been assigned to Training Camp with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL). In addition, Nico Gross was assigned to his junior team, the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), and Hunter Skinner was assigned to his junior team, the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

Really disappointing? Why?

 

Ronning was a 7th rounder and Meskanen undrafted... Wasn't expecting either to do anything, really.

 

They've both had their stocks increase rather nicely since their signings/drafts. Ronning was pretty nicely hyped in the past and Meskanen was like the one guy in Hartford who seemed to be able to do anything last year.

 

I'm not sitting here pissed that they're sent down. I'm more surprised that neither of them seemed to show progress enough to get one game in the preseason.

A little surprising this early. Not even a preseason game. Must be some good competition.

 

Let's be real though. There are no open roster spots for forwards unless your name is Kakko or Kravstov. There's one defensive position available. Maybe two.

 

Guys who stand no real chance don't need to be taking someone else's spot in the lineup during preseason.
