Pateryn, Andrighetto amongst six latest Habs Cuts

The following press release comes from the Montreal Canadiens and the Hamilton Bulldogs.

CANADIENS ASSIGN FIVE PLAYERS TO BULLDOGS

Three forwards, two defencemen assigned bring training camp roster to 32 players

 

MONTREAL, QUE. – Montreal Canadiens and Hamilton Bulldogs general manager Marc Bergevin announced today the Canadiens have assigned forwards Sven Andrighetto, Jake Dowell and Gabriel Dumont as well as defencemen Davis Drewiske and Greg Pateryn to the Bulldogs.

These assignments bring the ‘Dogs training camp roster to 18 forwards, 11 defencemen and three goaltenders. The five players assigned today will report to Hamilton, but won’t join the team for the pre-season games in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Bulldogs play their first pre-season game tonight when they visit the St. John’s IceCaps at Joe Byrne Memorial Stadium in Grand Falls-Windsor, N.L. at 5:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast live on AM900 CHML.

The Canadiens have also announced the release of Drayson Bowman who was with the team on a pro try-out.

Ben Kerr’s Take:  The assignment of Pateryn is the most surprising.  I thought Pateryn was good in pre-season and was amongst the contenders for the 7th defenceman job.  It now seems that the remaining positions on the Montreal blueline will come down to a battle between Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi, and training camp tryout Francis Bouillon for the two spots, unless another move is made such as a waiver pickup or trade.
