The Ottawa Senators are still currently trying to figure out their muddled madness of a roster, keeping Zack Smith around after he had cleared waivers, but late on Thursday night, they opted to send down forward Filip Chlapik and defenseman Christian Wolanin after their game in Chicago. This opens the door for Max McCormick to take the last forward spot on the roster and there's still a battle for the last blueline spot between Christian Jaros and Max Lajoie, both having played well against the Blackhawks.The Senators have one more preseason game to play, Saturday against the Canadiens, where that last decision will likely take place.
The Vegas Golden Knights sent down the last of their 2017 1st round picks that were still in camp, defenseman Erik Brannstrom, after a fairly strong preseason, one could say. The 19-year old looked pretty strong on the ice and on the scoresheet for the Golden Knights and one could have thought that a roster spot was going to be his. Nevertheless, he's still a teenager and very few make it to play a blueline spot in the NHL, so a little more seasoning it will be for him. Brad Hunt, Jake Bischoff and Zach Leslie will battle for Nate Schmidt's vacated spot, due to suspension and they'll have two more preseason games to do it in.
