First cut wasn't the deepest

As expected the Kings made first cuts from the training camp after four full days of on-ice practise and additional day of conditioning. There were hardly any surprises in the cuts:

Returned To Junior Team:

John Seymour – LW (Brampton – OHL)
David Meckler – C (London – OHL)
George Holloway – C (Seattle – OHL)
Ryan McGinnis – D (Plymouth – OHL)

Released From Training Camp:

Kevin Henderson – LW (Kitchener – OHL)
Chad Greenan – D (Kootenay – WHL)
Craig Schira – D (Regina – WHL)

The Kings have 58 players remaining on their 2006 preseason roster (34 forwards, 16 defensemen and 8 goaltenders).

Ok, perhaps the only player from the above group that I'd like to see some pre-season action was Craig Schira. But at 18 years old he's young to take his time this time round.

As stated by coach Marc Crawford earlier today, the Kings will further trim their roster to 30+ players after Tuesdays game against the San Jose Sharks.
