Our AHL Team-by-Team Lists are Back!

It's that time of the year! With the NHL Entry Draft complete and the restricted free agent deadline now past us, it won't be too long before the start of free agency.

Here at Inside AHL Hockey, we aim to be a 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 and their free agents (both NHL and AHL, RFA/UFA etc.) heading into July 1st.

Non-subscribers will have access to these initial lists, but we will have updated team lists as well as an updated AHL Free Agent Tracker for our Inside AHL Hockey subscribers. You can give us a try for a month for three bucks!

As soon as all four divisions' team lists are published online, I'll add links to the others below.

North Division Team ListsCentral Division Team Lists Pacific Division Team Lists

After the jump, fans of Atlantic Division teams - Bridgeport, Charlotte, Hartford, Hershey, Lehigh Valley, Providence, Springfield and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton - 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.

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 let us know!
