Did Noah Corson show up? If we eliminate the third goalie on tryout and without Corson, they only have 20 guys left (11F-7D-2G) including the three other guys on tryout.
Corson signed with the Chicago Wolves.

Corson signed with the Chicago Wolves.
Looks like it. Although it hasn't been officially announced. He was released from his PTO from the Wolves. But I imagine he signed an AHL deal with them and has now been assigned to the Norfolk Admirals.
I meant an official announcement from the team that he signed with them. We didn't get that. These were the two announcements by the Chicago Wolves themselves regarding Noah:
Here is them announcing that he was released from his PTO:
And this where they announce that they assigned him to Norfolk:
But they didn't announce that he signed.
OK, so TR has 11 F, 7D, 3G including the Manitoba Moose loaner. Is that enough?Corson signed with the Chicago Wolves.

Well there might be some more ECHL contracts to be given, 'cause there are way more players than that in their website...

Having our own echl team is quite a big deal, the organization has much more control for player development, for example you can send a young player who struggles in the ahl down 1league and have a say on how to use him or give him a good opportunity to build confidence, it's a good way to develop your later round picks and late-bloomers... I read some around say Hillis could use the icetime, even if it's at a lower level and i tend to agree with the logic behind it, he's not getting a chance to hone his skills and build confidence right now, why not give him 20mins/game down there?I don't want to burst anyone's bubble. 3R in ECHL is interesting but ECHL is not AA Like Baseball. Habs hardly used it before. One year they used Brampton when they had an extra Goalie. If it works great! But I think 3R would have been better off with The QMJHL for their New arena. IMO, Just being Honest. But things can change!

Two guys who were invited to the camp earn a contract:
Finally, the guys were not literally sent to 3R:
AHL season has started and ECHL not yet. Could that be a reason?
The three guys bring the total under contract with TR or on AHL/NHL loans to 22, but without them that's just 19 and only one non-goalie left on PTO.
