Hitchcock Separates Wheat from Chaff with Vet Practice, Scrimmage Rosters for Sunday

With another practice session in the books today, not too much could be gleaned from individual players. Philippe Desrosiers struggled on a few drills at times in the later group, letting in at least five consecutive goals at one point.

The real meat of the day came after practices had finished with the team releasing the veteran practice and 'future prospects' scrimmage rosters. Coach Hitchcock told the media after practice that the players "on one-way contracts" would "get the first kick at the can," as far as the veteran practice goes. Being in the future prospects group shouldn't be seen as a death knell, but it should tell players that they need to keep working to make it onto the NHL roster.
