UPDATED - Devils First Cuts - Fourteen to Albany and Five to Juniors

UPDATED - New link from the Devils website announcing the players sent down to Albany. Clermont is the only goalie but the other names shouldn't surprise you.

Per Gulitti - These are the players that will be returning to their respected Major Junior Teams in Canada:

"Goaltender Scott Wedgewood (Plymouth, OHL); defenseman Reece Scarlett (Swift Current, WHL); and forwards J.T. Barnett (Kamloops, WHL), Reid Boucher (Sarnia, OHL) and Thomas Nesbitt (Ottawa, OHL)."

None of those are surprising. I hope they do well back there and show up next year for an upgrade to the minors. Im going to try and watch Wedgewood this season. I have high hopes for him.

I thought Nesbitt was too old to return to juniors. Huh. Sorry for getting that wrong.

No real surprises in this group except Clermont is still in camp. Either the Devils want him around or he can’t go to juniors or something else.

Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!

According to a guy who knows things about the CHL (@Jerome_Berube) Clermont has not been listed on the Olympiques roster so its questionable as to whether anyone has his rights. I think they would be better off seeing if they can loan him to an ECHL team where he might get some playing time.
