Hartford makes cuts
The Rangers announced today what appears to be their final cuts heading into next Thursday’s season opener against the Buffalo Sabres. Rookie Brennan Othmann was reassigned, and veterans Jonny Brodzinsky and Ben Harpur were placed on waivers, and are expected to be reassigned to Hartford tomorrow.
Going into camp, Cuylle appeared to be in consideration for a spot, though looked to have his inclusion in the opening night roster blocked by a slew of veterans. Offseason acquisitions of Tyler Pitlick, Nick Bonino and Blake Wheeler seemed to seal up the remaining spots, and a veteran was expected to take the reserve spot as 13th forward.
