Boston Bruins announce 14-player transaction today
The Boston Bruins have announced a 14-player transaction today.
With the regular season just around the corner, and with the Providence Bruins training camp starting tomorrow, the Boston Bruins have finally made some cuts from their roster.
Today it was announced that the Boston Bruins have cut 14 players and sent them all back to the Providence Bruins to gear up for a season in the AHL.
Pro Hockey Rumors listed all the players that were cut today, take a look:
D Drew Bavaro (assigned to AHL Providence)
G Ryan Bischel (assigned to AHL Providence)
D Frederic Brunet (assigned to AHL Providence)
D Michael Callahan (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Riley Duran (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Trevor Kuntar (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Fabian Lysell (assigned to AHL Providence)
G Nolan Maier (assigned to AHL Providence)
D Ryan Mast (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Adam Mechura (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Georgii Merkulov (assigned to AHL Providence)
D Mason Millman (assigned to AHL Providence)
F Jaxon Nelson (assigned to AHL Providence)
Many were surprised to see Fabian Lysell, and Geogrii Merkulov on this list, as they were both fighting for a full-time roster spot with the Boston Bruins this year.
After the Boston Bruins lost Jake DeBrusk, the Bruins made it clear that they wanted to look internally for a replacement, and Fabian Lysell, and Geogrii Merkulov were the two that many thought would have the best chance at earning that spot.
Ultimately the Boston Bruins organization thought both these players were not ready for the position, and have sent that back down to play with the Providence Bruins in the AHL.
Did you expect either Merkulov or Lysell to make the Boston Bruins this year?
