With 50 players remaining, the roster hasn’t quite taken shape just yet.
Following last night’s preseason opening victory over the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier announced this afternoon that 14 players have been cut from the team’s training camp. Of those 14 players, four were on an amateur tryout agreement (ATO) and will be returned to their juniors club. An additional three Sharks prospects were returned to their respective juniors clubs, and seven players were assigned to the San Jose Barracuda’s AHL training camp.
