Not a great year for PTO's trying to crack a roster with shortened training camps and basically no pre-season. If you're not a known quantity you're unlikely to get a contract.

Dawson Mercer makes 39 skaters under contract although he is at the WJC tournament.
RFA Jesper Bratt would be 40 skaters under contract.
Nico Hischier will miss at least the beginning of camp.
No PTOs listed.

Did nobody post the Kings?

EqgaR7vUwAEFaOT



Players under contract not invited:

Cole Hults (hip surgery)
Johan Södergran (back injury)

The five contracted players still in the WJC are also not listed (Byfield, Turcotte, Kaliyev, Spence, Björnfot). Presumably they'll be added later.

No non-contracted prospects or invites.

Sodergran not too surprising
Curious what the plan is for Hults, I mean probably just to the AHL, but they just convinced him to leave college early, figured they'd at least invite him

Going through some of the official rosters and some interesting (or not so interesting, depending on your POV) facts on each team

ANA: Ducks have 5 (Jack Badini, Bryce Kindopp, Roman Durny, Maxim Golod and Olle Eriksson Ek) playing in the ECHL but of those 5, only Eriksson Ek earned an invite to camp.

BUF: Sabres signed two NCAA UFAs last Spring but only invited Brandon Biro to camp, leaving Dawson DiPietro to await the possible open of the AHL season to get some practice in.

DAL: Despite the NHL allowing an unlimited amount of goalies to come to camp, the Stars only brought the 4 under contract to camp (5 if you include the injured Ben Bishop).

DET; Wings left some notable players off their roster to continue playing in Europe (Joe Veleno, Moritz Seider) but the most unusual is Calvin Pickard (Who is playing in Austria) who is on a 1-way deal with the Wings.

LAK: The most interesting inclusion is D Daniel Brickley who is under contract to the Kings but was dealt at the AHL level last year to WPG's AHL deal before the end of the season.

MTL: Habs left some notable prospects off the roster, like Cameron Hillis and Josh Brook (The latter being a 2nd round pick in 2017).

PIT: Was a little surprise to see that the Pens left Will Reilly off he roster when they just signed him less than a year ago, ditto for Jonathan Gruden who was acquired in the Matt Murray deal. Despite having an ECHL agreement with Wheeling, the Penguins have not assigned any of the 4 signed North American prospects to the Nailers (Reilly, Gruden, Justin Almeida and Jordy Bellerive).

Rob Blake said today that players in the WJC would be considered for invites depending on their play at the WJCs.

Sodergran not too surprising

As Yog posted above, both Sodergran and Hults are injured.

It's weird that Ottawa's camp is currently going on, had players on the ice today, and that the team never released a roster, right?!

Yes. I mean last of the seven teams to miss the RTP.

New Jersey waited too, although they did ninja post their roster to their website a few days ago or maybe just yesterday. Haven't heard from GM Tom Fitzgerald today or in a few days unless I missed it, so I wonder if there was a transaction that fell through that would have affected the "Preliminary Roster". AGM Dan MacKinnon has been taking media availability.
