As the regular season draws closer, the Montreal Canadiens continue to trim down their roster. Last night seven players were cut from NHL camp.
Today, Zach Redmond was placed on waivers, with the obvious intent to have him lead the Laval Rocket again this season. Friday was the first day players could be placed on waivers.
Redmond split time between Montreal and St. John’s last year while also battling through injuries including a broken foot.
The expectation will be for Redmond to clear and likely head up the defensive unit in Laval alongside Matt Taormina, and help the younger players adjust to the AHL game.
