BST Non-Free-Agent Scorecard ’17

Usual disclaimers apply: This isn’t a true depth chart; it more or less keeps guys where they finished, except for the first-rounders and non-AHL-eligibles. 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 8/8 (Gionta), 44 NHL contracts for 2017-18 (6 G, 15 D, 23 F), including at present no players who don’t count if sent to junior before playing 10 NHL games.
