All four played in Tuesday night's pre-season game in Moncton.

Baljak and Gravenor were both attending Saint John's training camp as free agents.

This is the second round of cuts the Sea Dogs have made. On Tuesday, forwards Bryce Cunningham, Ben Cross and Carter McIllwraith; defensemen Frederick Bourque and Joshua Henry; and goaltender Vladislav Bryzgalov were all released.

Saint John now has 52 players remaining on their camp roster.
