Subsequently we learned that Winnipeg had placed Mason Shaw and Phil Di Giuseppe on waivers for purposes of assignment to the Moose which got the training camp roster down to 43 players.
The team put out a press release indicating both players had been placed on waivers and they also included the news that prospect Danny Zhilkin (2022 3rd) had been loaned to the Moose who began their training camp today.
