Of the nine released, the only one that might have garnered interest was Sean Romeo, who was a good part of the Wings’ victory in the Traverse City Prospects Tournament. Even with that, he didn’t really do enough to stand out and earn a spot in the current goaltending pipeline for the Wings.
More cuts likely tomorrow before the Wings play their first of nine preseason games, as we’ll start seeing kids get released to their juniors squads next. Here’s where the roster stands right now:
