The Chicago Blackhawks have made significant cuts to their training camp roster, sending Zach Sanford and Brett Seney to the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL. Mitchell Weeks has also been released from his professional tryout and returned to the AHL.
The Blackhawks' roster now consists of 32 players, including 17 forwards, 11 defensemen, and four goalies. Notable players still vying for a spot include Frank Nazar, Antti Saarela, and Wyatt Kaiser.
Sanford, a veteran with experience across seven NHL teams, had a mixed season last year, while Seney has been a standout performer in the AHL, nearly achieving a point-per-game average. Meanwhile, Weeks is expected to return to the ECHL as the goaltending situation stabilizes.
