Tuesday, September 30th

 

As the NHL regular season draws nearer, bigger names are on the chopping blocks and here are some of the latest:

 

Anaheim Ducks reassigned top 2014 pick Nick Ritchie back to the Peterborough Petes. Anaheim’s depth kept him from having any real shot at the NHL this season.

 

The Coyotes have assigned Henrik Samuelsson and Tyler Gaudet (two players who are very close to NHL action because they are above-average two-way players) to Portland of the AHL. Joining them is goaltender Mark Visentin, among others.

 

With Rielly Smith and Torey Krug under contract, not surprised to see Seth Griffith (who was being tested in Smith's spot) reassigned to Providence. Defenseman Joe Morrow and forward Jared Knight will follow Griffith. Beyond Ryan Spooner and Alexander Khokhlachev, Griffith and Morrow are two fantasy worthy players in deeper keeper leagues.

 

Buffalo assigns Joel Armia and goaltender Andrey Makarov to the AHL

 

There are no huge Calgary Flames’ cuts (see Bennett snippet below) but here were the recent reassignments.
