EDIT: Our North Division Team Lists post has been updated to reflect all signings through July 21st at 6:30 p.m. ET.
It's that time of the year! With the expansion draft, the NHL Entry Draft and restricted free agent deadline rapidly approaching it won't be too long before the start of free agency.
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.
As soon as all four divisions' team lists are published online, I'll add links to the others below.
2017-18 Atlantic Division Team ListsAfter the jump, fans of North Division teams - Binghamton, Belleville, Laval, Rochester, Syracuse, Toronto and Utica - can take a look at how their favorite team is shaping up for the 2017-18 season prior to the start of free agency on July 1st.
2017-18 Central Division Team Lists
2017-18 Pacific Division Team Lists
DISCLAIMER: For the sake of arguments over whether the under contract guys will be AHL or NHL players in 2017-18, I generally kept players on AHL rosters of they finished last year in the AHL or played an overwhelming majority of the season in the minors.
If you think someone is missing from these lists, or have a strong argument that any one of these players are NHL-bound in 2017-18 feel free to mention it in the comments after the article!
