Blackhawks Make First Round of Roster Cuts

Today the Blackhawks announced the first few cuts to the training camp rosters, dropping 9 players. Matt Keith, Maxime Tanguay, Joe Charlebois, Jean-Claude Sawyer and Joe Palmer were all assigned to the IceHogs while Byron Froese, David Gilbert and Teigan Zahn were all sent back to juniors.

These cuts are pretty heavy on the non-roster invitees. None of the players cut so far are surprising at all though, we don't even have profile pages for them yet.

So lets bring back the big board and break out the "strikethrough":
