The Montreal Canadiens made their first cuts this morning and have assigned the following players to Hamilton for the beginning of this year's season. They are as follows:
Goaltenders (2)
Cédrick Desjardins
Loic Lacasse
Defensemen (3)
Pavel Valentenko
Shawn Belle
Chad Anderson
Forwards (11)
Brock Trotter
Ryan White
James T. Wyman
Mike Glumac
Olivier Latendresse
Yanick Lehoux
Ryan Flinn
Mathieu Aubin
Ryan Russell
David Desharnais
Thomas Beauregard
Not too many familiar names yet, with the exception of goaltender Desjardins, D Valetenko and forwards Trotter and Aubin.
Olivier Latendresse, some may remember, was traded to Montreal by Phoenix for Cory Urquhart at the end of last season on April 7th. Both players needed a change, hopefully this will work out for them.
For those of you wondering where Ajay Baines name is, he signed a tryout with Anaheim, who have already sent him down to Iowa to start the season. It was no real surprise that he left, as it had been mentioned in the media the Bulldogs were looking at hi not coming back.
Here is a list of other players not coming back and where they'll be this year:
