Pens' roster about to get a lot smaller
The Penguins, who began the day with 49 players on their training-camp roster, are expected to have a lot fewer than that around by the close of business this evening.
They already have placed five players -- defensemen Steve Oleksy, Reid McNeill and Will O'Neill and forwards Dominik Uher and Kael Mouillierat – on waivers.
All are expected to be assigned to the Penguins’ American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre if they go unclaimed by noon tomorrow.
Two players still in camp, defenseman Sergei Gonchar and forward Tom Sestito, are on professional tryouts and are attempting to earn contracts.
NHL teams must be down to the regular-season limit of 23 players by Monday.
