The Ottawa Senators' first round of training camp cuts were announced today: defencemen Paul Baier, Mat Robinson, Craig Schira and Kyle Wharton, and forwards Jason Bailey, Keegan Dansereau, Kaspars Daugavins, Matt Lowry and Brandon Svendsen.

A few of those guys--notably Schira, Wharton, and Dansereau--had great showings in the Kitchener rookie tournament, so they should have a great chance in the Binghamton Senators training camp. Speaking of which, take the jump to see the B-Sens list of invited players.

Forwards		Defencemen		Goaltenders
Jason Bailey	Matt Lowry	Paul Baier	Mat Robinson	Shane Connelly
Brendan Connolly	Nino Musitelli	J. F. David	Craig Schira
Wes Cunningham	Tim Spencer	Sean Erickson	Joe Smith
Keegan Dansereau	Dustin Sproat	Travis Gawryletz	Kyle Wharton
Kaspars Daugavins	Brandon Svendsen
Brett Gallant	Colton Yellow Horn
Max Gratchev	Tom Zanoski
Chris Korchinski

Looks like a pretty small roster for the time being, but the Sens' still have plenty more cuts to make. In fact, you can bet a lot of these players will be suiting up for the Elmira Jackals in the ECHL this season, but I've got a feeling Dansereau, Schira, Wharton, and Daugavins all have a good chance of of staying in the AHL.
