News: Opening Rosters

[mouser]

Since when Kasperi Kapanen been injured????

Technically Kapanen is on "Non-Roster" status right now. As opposed to "Injured Reserve" or "Injured Non-Roster".

For cap purposes Non-Roster works the same as Injured Reserve. The player's cap hit still counts, but the player doesn't count towards the 23 player Active Roster limit. Only real difference vs Injured Reserve is there is no minimum time period a player must stay on Non-Roster.

Weird to only have 4 official rosters at this point (Feel free to continue to post rosters in this thread, but I'm only going to post the "official" ones in the main post). I wonder if the bulk of them might be revealed en masse tomorrow by the NHL as opening night deal.

Two teams have announced Taxi Squads without naming their rosters (CAR & DET), their Taxi Squads are included on the list.

A third Taxi Squad announced


Yes, that is a 5 forwad/1 goalie Taxi Squad. Would assume that Bouchard goes on it after some cap gymnastics (Right now Oilers appear to be carrying 9 defencemen and 12 forwards!)

On my phone, but Amanda Stein tweeted all team rosters will be released by noon Eastern tomorrow.

Is there anywhere that will keep track of who is on a roster, taxi squad, or AHL as the season progresses?

Do we know how the transaction to go from roster to taxi squad will look? I.e. will it be “assigned to”, “sent down to”, etc. I assume there has to be some sort of transaction when movement occurs between the two, it can’t just...happen.

Other than the tweet posted below, there is no reference to taxi squad on that site. Certainly not a list of who is on each team’s squad.

Maybe later today when the final rosters are announced by the league but as of 830 Wednesday there’s nothing there.

edit part dos: all 6 teams I originally checked had no taxis, perhaps those teams haven’t announced officially...the next three I checked all have one listed. Perhaps I’ll just be patient!

 

[CaptBrannigan]

Interesting, thank you. I assume it will be a generic “reassigned” as the transaction, guess we’ll have to wait and see when it happens.

According to Capfriendly, the VGK 'opening night' roster is

Pacioretty Stephenson Stone
Marchessault Karlsson Smith
Tuch Glass Roy
Carrier Nosek Reaves
Kolesar

McNabb Pietrangelo
Martinez Theodore
Whitecloud

Lehner
Fleury

also lists G prospect Patera on the team but I'm not sure if it's SOIR or non-roster or what

Does anyone know why teams would deliberately withhold unchabgeable information from their fans? I mean I just don’t comprehend. If it was locked in yesterday, they’re within their *rights* to say ‘we won’t tell our fans anything, you can wait until the league report’ - but what’s the rationale? What do they gain by not communicating with their fans when clearly a whole lot of other teams are?
