Roster Set

The full article, by Dave Joseph, is here.

"The Panthers announced their opening-night roster Wednesday and, due to some lingering injuries, Michael Frolik, Shawn Matthias and Cory Murphy were all on the list.

According to GM Jacques Martin nagging injuries to Stephen Weiss (groin), David Booth (back), Radek Dvorak (ribs) and Karlis Skrastins (neck) have kept them on the injured reserve list. All but Skrastins practiced Wednesday and Weiss, Booth and Dvorak can be cleared to play in Friday’s season-opener in Carolina as late as 5 p.m., that evening."

There's a good article at Hockey's Future about Adam Comrie. I don't want to make this too long, so another link, if you please: Comrie Working Even Harder After Panthers Camp

And, lastly, Murphy cleared waivers, but according to Jacques Martin (you can see this in the roster article at the top of this entry) assigning Murphy to the AHL wasn't the motivation in waiving him in the first place.
