  • I also have team-by-team lists for all 30 AHL clubs. Who is under contract, which free agents have yet to sign and more. I'll be updating the team lists this weekend to reflect the initial free agent surge:
After the jump, a look at what each AHL team has added via either NHL contracts made by their parent club or on AHL-only contracts after the first day of free agency.
