Panthers trim roster before heading to West Point

In case you missed it yesterday, what with that Hurricane Matthew thing happening (or not), the Florida Panthers assigned forwards Connor Brickley, Dryden Hunt and Kyle Rau and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL.

The team also released veteran blueliner Adam Pardy from his PTO.

The moves left the training camp roster at 27. That number includes center Nick Bjugstad who is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks after breaking his hand against Dallas on Tuesday.

With Bjugstad slated for injured reserve at some point, that means the Cats will have make three more cuts before the start of the regular season.
