They were down to 27 after the team announced that Mikhail Berdin wouldn’t be playing in Winnipeg this season and today two more players are heading to the Moose.
They have released 2022 1st rounder Brad Lambert to the Moose. He is still without a contract.
They have also placed Johnny Kovacevic on waivers for purposes of assignment to the Moose.

Placing Kovacevic on waivers is a risk as he is a big (6’5) defenceman who is mobile. Could see a team putting in a claim for him. Kovacevic signed a three year deal with Winnipeg this summer.

Goalies (2): Connor Hellebuyck and David Rittich
