Penguins Dump Four More to Wheeling

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins continue their roster trim by reassigning four players down to the Wheeling Nailers, a move that signals who's sticking around for the AHL grind. Front offices know this time of year separates the NHL hopefuls from the ECHL grinders, and these sends-downs come right as WBS eyes its early-season footing. Penguins brass watches closely from Pittsburgh, betting on a few of these kids to force their way back up before the calendar flips.
