Minor Transactions: 9/28/18

Beyond the lengthy list of training camp cuts and players on waivers, there have been some other minor transactions around the hockey world which are noted here.

• Sabres UFA goaltender Jason Kasdorf has inked a tryout deal with Lehigh Valley of the AHL, notes team play-by-play voice Bob Rotruck (Twitter link). He spent the majority of the last two years at the ECHL level and suited up in 28 games with Cincinnati last season, posting a 3.03 GAA and a .903 SV%.  Buffalo declined to tender him a qualifying offer back in June.
• As part of their waiver announcement (Twitter link) for goaltender Al Montoya, the Oilers revealed that they have recalled goaltender Shane Starrett from Bakersfield of the AHL. He will serve as the emergency goaltender with Edmonton set to head overseas to Germany and Sweden to end their preseason and kick off their regular season.
• The Blue Jackets have inked winger Nikita Korostelev to a one-year, minor league deal, his agent Dan Milstein announced on Twitter. The former Toronto prospect had a strong season with Peterborough of the OHL, posting 75 points in 64 games before signing with Montreal’s minor league team in Laval to finish up the year.
• Still with Columbus, the team announced the recalls of goalie Jean-Francois Berube, defensemen Tommy Cross, Michael Prapavessis, Dillon Simpson, and Justin Wade, as well as forwards Zac Dalpe, Dan DeSalvo, Nathan Gerbe, Miles Koules, Ryan MacInnis, and Sam Vigneault from Cleveland of the AHL. All 11 players had already been cut from training camp but their returns will allow the Blue Jackets to rest most of their regulars in their preseason finale on Saturday in Chicago.
