It's that time of the year! The Expansion Draft and NHL Entry Draft have passed, and the restricted free agent deadline is rapidly approaching (Monday June 27th at 5 p.m. ET) as well as the start of free agency on July 1st.
Here at Highland Park Hockey (and soon transitioning to a brand new AHL website!), we aim to be the source for all AHL-related off-season news/notes/transactions throughout the summer.
Back again this summer is our team-by-team lists, now broken down by division for a clearer look at each of the 30 AHL clubs - their free agents (both NHL and AHL, RFA/UFA) and more.
With the completion of the Pacific Division, all four divisions' team lists are published online. I've added links to the others below.
