...and It Cuts Like a Knife

The first round of cuts were made today by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Returning to the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League are forwards Jesse Boulerice, Chris Collins, Joey Haddad, Nick Petersen, Ryan Schnell, Zach Sill, Alex Smigelski, Kevin Veilleux, and Geoff Walker. 

Defensemen who were sent Wilkes Barre/Scranton today include Jason DeSantis, Derek Peltier and Carl Sneep. Goaltender Patrick Killeen was also sent to WBS.

  

Meanwhile, forward Tyler Brown was sent back to the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League and goaltender Alex Pechurskiy was sent to the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League.


Wilkes-Barre opens up camp this Saturday, so you can expect more cuts to be made by then as well as some camp invites, because 13 guys are not enough to have a full camp.
