Tough day for the Cornell guys - Vesce, Cook, Moulson, McKee all sent down.

O'Byrne is still with the Habs after last night's game.  There were reports of additional cuts today in Montreal, but it looks like he made it through unscathed.  I can't imagine he will be able to get the 6th spot and they'll likely want him to skate everyday to further his development (which would rule him out the 7th spot).  You never know, but I'm guessing he'll spend most if not all of the season in Hamilton to acclimate to the professional game.

Certainly an interesting situation over in Montreal.  Dandelault, Markov, Rivet, Souray,  Bouillon, Komisarek are all locks.  Streit does not necessarily have a spot in the lineup sewn up.  He was their 7th Dman last year and also captained the Swiss Olympic team.  Benoit, O'Byrne, and Jancevski are all still in camp though.  These guys could be giving Streit a run for the 7th spot, but as you said, it would be bad for his development to sit in the press box.  Still, it says a lot about what they think of him if he is still there.  O'Byrne will be in the NHL within a couple years.

Sheldon Souray was injured so there is another d spot for opening night. I think the habs will have a hard time sending OB down in these circumstances.

Pegoraro is in AHL camp with Hamilton...and picked up the 2nd star (1g and 1a) in tonight's preseason game. Don't know if he'll stick with Hamilton or get sent to Cincinnati, but if he stays it would probably mean three Cornell guys with the Bulldogs.

From that article, it looks like Hyphen did really well too (in a 6-5 game, he was the only goalie who let in less than 5 goals).  Given that Yann Danis got reassigned there today as well, Hamilton seems to be the place to go to watch ECAC alumni.

There's a Phoenix Coyotes season preview online at NHL.com, with not the best mention of LeNeveu:

[Q]Phoenix's defense is better than last season, so look for Joseph's numbers to improve. The position has been made more competitive with the additions of Morrison and Sauve. The latter didn't do well in his late-season audition, but it's possible the conditions weren't right, getting a chance when all was lost. LeNeveu didn't shine in his opportunities last season, perhaps for similar reasons. Morrison was spectacular at times, unreliable at others. The three contenders for the backup position are at an age where another bad impression could foreclose their hopes to be NHL starters. Expect Gretzky to look for the hot hand if Joseph doesn't meet expectations.[/Q]

Since other ECAC alumni are mentioned here, I thoguht I'd mention that there was an article about former Yale goaltender Alex Westlund in today's Hartford Courant.  He's trying to make the AHL Wolf Pack...his 14th pro team.

Montreal claimed Patrick Traverse off waivers today so O'Byrne will be headed to Hamilton at least to start the season.

O'Byrne in the lineup tonight for Montreal against Ottawa.  You can listen to the game live at www.cjad.com.  The pregame show is on now and the game starts at 7:30.

Announcer just stated that "O'Byrne is a healthy scratch tonight" which would indicate that he indeed will be in Hamilton sooner rather than later.  :-/
