The New York Islanders announced several more roster cuts today, including placing defenseman Scott Mayfield on waivers for the purpose of assigning to AHL Bridgeport.
If Mayfield clears waivers, in Bridgeport he’ll be joining:
- Joshua Ho-Sang and Michael Dal Colle, two promising first-round pick forwards who will begin their pro careers in the AHL, as expected.
- Forward Ross Johnston and defensemen Devon Toews, Kyle Burroughs, Matthew Finn, Jesse Graham, and goalies Chistopher Gibson and Stephon Williams, all assigned to Bridgeport.
In addition to those moves, Steve Bernier -- who spent last season with the Islanders — Colin Markison and Tanner Fritz were released from their PTOs (professional tryouts).
