The Florida Panthers waived a trio of serviceable bodies Wednesday, cutting Reto Berra, Jakub Kindl, and Logan Shaw as the club shapes its roster in advance of opening night.
Acquired as insurance for Roberto Luongo, Berra's demotion likely means the Panthers' No. 1 goaltender should be fit to start the season, backed up by James Reimer.
Kindl represents yet another change to the Panthers' defensive corps, which saw more than a 50 percent turnover throughout the summer. He managed just two points in 19 games last season, logging less than 14 minutes per night.
Shaw appeared in 53 games for the Panthers last season, and suited up for 19 with the American Hockey League's Portland Pirates.
