AHL Western Conference Team Lists

An early look at how the AHL's Western Conference teams are shaping up before the 2016-17 season. Photo: Amanda Statland

Now that the dust has settled after a busy opening weekend of free agency, it's time to take a look at how the AHL rosters are taking shape for the Western Conference teams. If you're a fan of one of the Eastern Conference teams, simply click the link to check to see how your favorite team looks right now in the first week of July.

The big winners of free agency in the West so far has to be the Chicago Wolves and San Antonio Rampage, who both added a lot of top-tier AHL talent on the opening weekend. It was a much-needed boost for both teams as both had disappointing seasons in 2015-16.

The big losers of free agency in the West so far has to be the Stockton Heat, who have seen Kenny Agostino, Turner Elson, Derek Grant and Jaime Johnson all move on without any new incoming free agents to replace them.

After the jump, an updated team-by-team look at some new names on AHL teams in the Western Conference as well as where their in-house free agents have signed so far. As always, be sure to check out my 2016 AHL Free Agent Tracker to see which AHL-level free agents are still available
