Roster takes shape: Islanders cuts

The Islanders as promised dropped their big set of cuts just before noon, sending 11 players here: Sebastian Collberg, Brett Gallant, Mike Halmo, Kael Mouillierat, John Persson, Alan Quine, Johan Sundstrom, Scott Mayfield, Andrey Pedan, Adam Pelech and Ville Pokka. Arthur Staple reported as well that David Leggio, Kevin Poulin, Aaron Ness, Jack Skille and Harry Zolnierczyk went on waivers at noon; if they clear, they’re eligible to come down as well, though Arthur notes Ness is still practicing up top with their injuries on defense.

Would figure the Sound Tigers’ are coming with practice in earnest beginning Monday. With Gallant and Collberg called back up for last night, the only two NHL-contract players who’d been down were Loic Leduc and Jesse Graham.
