There have been a lot of changes since I initially went over the team’s roster just a few weeks ago. Let’s walk through the team as it stands now just one day before their season opens (highlighting changes I haven’t covered previously; the new ECHL website layout is a nightmare at the moment, incidentally):
Goaltenders
Jake Paterson (AHL-deal)
Anthony Dumont-Bouchard (undrafted, with most of his time spent in the Q other than his final year in the O with Kitchener)
Leonid Lazarev was released
Defense
Macoy Erkamps (ELC)
Chris Martenet (Dallas ELC; not someone the Stars want even on their ECHL affiliate in Idaho)
Mathieu Gagnon
Reggie Traccitto
Jordan Henry
Mike Folkes
Matt Petgrave
Austin McEneny
Jonathan Racine
Chase Golightly
Hugo Enock was released
Forwards
Aaron Luchuk (ELC)
Daniel Ciampini (AHL-deal)
Francois Beauchemin (AHL-deal)
Anthony DeLuca (claimed off waivers; played in Denmark last year, but was on the BSens Wichita affiliate back in 15-16 for half a season)
David Vallorani
Artur Tyanulin
David Pacan
Chris Leveille
Anthony Beauregard
Erik Bradford
Brandon MacLean
Nathan Todd
Jackson Leef
Alexandre Mentink (I believe this is a PTO because he was playing in a senior league last year after three seasons away from hockey completely)
Lucas Venuto and Kris Newbury were released; Jake Wood was claimed off waivers
Filip Gustavsson, Ryan Scarfo, and Boston Leier were all assigned to Brampton earlier, but all have been recalled due to injuries and NHL-recalls. Leier played in the BSens first game and Gustavsson is likely to play in Manitoba. This flood of roster moves pushed the BSens into signing Daniel Ciampini to an AHL-deal and I’d expect him to play ahead of Scarfo.
Aaron Luchuk remains in Brampton and I think that’s largely to ensure he gets lot’s of ice time. If, over time, others are recalled ahead of him than that’s an indictment of his performance.
