Veteran defenseman James Wisniewski was released from his professional tryout and will be on the move again. Adam Gretz writes that Wisniewski admitted it was difficult to adjust to Tampa’s system. Though he’s coming off of a major injury, Wisniewski could add value to a depleted blue line should he be able to shake the rust off and stay healthy.
