Coyotes Cut Roster By 13
The next round of Coyotes training camp cuts have been made, and this time, some of the names on the list came as a shock. Two of the men have been some of the biggest talk around training camp, so the motives behind the decision to move them down to the AHL are a mystery to many. Those two men are Henrik Samuelsson and Tyler Gaudet, some of the most talked about Coyotes’ hopefuls at training camp. Samuelsson was especially an asset in camp, having a phenomenal pre-season game Monday night against the L.A. Kings, where he was put on a line that produced 3 goals, with Max Domi and veteran Martin Hanzel. Coach Tippett has been outspoken about young players developing more before coming up to the big league, so the fact that some young guys were moved down isn’t a surprise, just who was moved was the bombshell. Only time will tell, but below is a list of the rest of the Coyotes’ cuts. 32 players remain in camp, still.
