BST Non-Free-Agent Scorecard ’15

Usual disclaimers apply: This isn’t a true depth chart; it more or less keeps guys where they finished. As things come into sharper focus, I may rearrange. Forward positions aren’t strict. There could (will probably) be swing on the margins and within positions.

*-Unsigned restricted free agent. Italics: AHL contract. Blue: added since July 1. As of 9/18 (Zidlicky), 51 NHL contracts for 2015-16 (5 G, 16 D, 30 F), including Barzal, Dal Colle and Ho-Sang, who don’t count if sent to junior before playing 10 NHL games (and with Ho-Sang there already, effectively 50).
