Shea Theodore has been cut from the Ducks training camp squad.
The former first-round pick in the 2013 draft was assigned to the team's AHL affiliate in San Diego. This move was not unexpected. Ducks GM Bob Murray said he would not rush the team's young prospects to the NHL level. Additionally, defense is a position where the Ducks are very deep and they can afford to let Theodore develop his game in the minors.
Other notables sent down include: Brandon Montour, Stefan Noesen, Shane O'Brien and Nic Kerdiles.
Additionally, both Sheldon Brookbank and Vitaly Vishnevski have been released from their professional tryouts.
