Another projected roster player sent down on Tuesday night, as the New Jersey Devils confirmed that rookie Michael McLeod was among three players sent down to the AHL and another placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment. McLeod, a 1st round pick in 2016, still has yet to really make his mark in the organization and it may have been fair to think he was going to get a good shot at it this year.
Still in Devils camp and probably the favourite to take one of those last forward spots is pro tryout Drew Stafford, who has the experience in the league and gives him a leg up on the other few prospect forwards still in camp.
On Wednesday morning, the Blackhawks announced three more cuts, including one of the players I was looking to as a possible sleeper pick, forward Victor Ejdsell. The Swede was acquired from Nashville last season, but he couldn't seem to put it all together for training camp and now he's off to the AHL, where he may return from later, but now isn't a viable sleeper pick in this year's draft. Alexandre Fortin was also on my projected roster, albeit not quite as well projected, but he's also on his way down to the AHL as well today.Right now, this leaves a couple of spots open on my projected roster for the Blackhawks and there are four forwards still in camp to vie for them: Dominik Kahun, David Kampf, Jordan Maletta and Luke Johnson.
