Earlier today, Steve Yzerman announced that the Tampa Bay Lightning have reduced their training camp roster to 57 by designating six players down for assignment.

The List includes four forwards (Kevin Hancock, Alexey Lipanov, Christopher Paquette, Taylor Raddysh), one defenseman (Oleg Sosunov), and one goaltender (Joseph Raaymakers). Nobody on this list should come as a surprise as the chances of any of them making the Lightning roster was slim to none.

We have reduced our #BoltsCamp roster by six, leaving us with 57 players remaining. https://t.co/5bZP6UV1gr
