Opening night rosters are due Monday at 4 p.m. Central, one of the many critical 2024-25 campaign dates. Some teams still need to make their last few cuts today to get down to 23 players, while others are already at or under the maximum and are just waiting to make things official. As announcements come across the wire, each team’s initial 2024-25 season roster will be listed here.

Crazy to me that Montreal can have such a clearly underwhelming team and still be over the cap. Yikes.
Edit: Actually, it looks like that number comes *before* Price’s contract gets buried in LTIR. I presume he’s never playing again, that’s still the expectation right?
Josh Erickson
Correct. Roster will be as Engels reports, but looks like there’s still a couple of paper moves coming to optimize LTIR capture.
weatherwiz
Here it says Bruins cap space is -363,333 but puckpedia has $411,667
Gbear
Looks like many teams missed the deadline, lol! :D
HazeGray71
Per the team announcement this article links to, aren’t Hurricanes Fast, Stillman, and Ryan on the (Season Opening) Injured Non-Roster list rather Than LTIR and IR?
Josh Erickson
Fast is not eligible for SOIR as he’s not on a two-way contract.
HazeGray71
Josh, I put {Season Opening} in parentheses because there is no CBA reference for “SOIR while “injured non-roster” is defined in the CBA, page 103, Article 16.11 and procedurally evidenced by an “Injured Non-Roster Form”, Page 381. Clause 15.6 further clarifies teams’ mandatory reporting to NHL Central Registry of Injured Non-Roster players on the “opening day roster” as was done by the Hurricanes
Puzzled as to why do you persist in using non CBA terminology (SOIR) and changing player status from a CBA-compliant status stated in the team announcement? Suggest the article should be corrected
PyramidHeadcrab
Oh man. That Flames team is BRUTAL. Potentially even worse than last year’s Sharks.

Rangers list ?
