The Tampa Bay Lightning have reduced their training camp roster by one more player, with Nick Perbix being reassigned to the Syracuse Crunch. This leaves the Lightning with 22 healthy roster players and two injured skaters.
This transaction today is interesting because the Lightning didn’t need to make it to have a legal roster by Tuesday. Perbix was the 23rd healthy player on a roster that could accommodate a full 23-player roster. This indicates the Lightning intend to bring someone in from the outside (ie. waivers) over the weekend. It might not be someone from today’s list — frankly no one stands out as an interesting player — but we could get a new face coming in soon.

Waivers Today
Oct 6/7:
Slater Koekkoek is here, but I would be surprised if he gets claimed. Lias Andersson was a high pick but he seems to have busted and I doubt he would fit with the Lightning’s style for their bottom six.
