The Syracuse Crunch doesn’t officially get started for another few weeks still, but seeing as many of the younger members will be participating in the Tampa Bay Lightning’s preseason, it’s not too early to preview their roster. With quite a few changes afoot(e), Syracuse’s blue line gets a new look for 2018-19.

Who is out

Jamie McBain - UFA

Erik Cernak was one of the surprises on the Crunch’s roster last season. He came into the organization as part of the Ben Bishop trade in February 2017, and was a relative unknown coming into the 2017-18 season.
