Belleville Sens 2024 Offseason Player Tracker – Belleville Sens

As many American Hockey League teams move into off-season mode, executives and general managers will be looking to add to, or rebuild their rosters, ahead of the 2024-25 season. The same can be said for the Belleville Senators, who have only about a dozen players under contract through the upcoming season, or beyond that.

To help you keep track, here’s the 2024 edition of our Offseason Player Tracker (along with some helpful dates and definitions), so you can be informed who’s coming or going, to or from, the Friendly City this summer.

Definitions:

• Entry-level Contract (ELC):
  All new players, under the age of 25, are required to sign an ELC. ELC’s last three years if the player is age 18-21, two years if age 22-24 and one year if age 24.

• Restricted Free Agent (RFA):
  A player that has reached the end of their initial entry-level contract but is not yet an unrestricted free agent. Their rights are still held by the NHL team.

• Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA):
  A player that is older than 25 (or after 7 years, whichever comes first) and his contract ends. UFAs can sign with any team.

•  American Hockey League Contract:
  If a player signs an AHL contract, they are ineligible to play in the National Hockey League. Players on AHL contracts become UFAs once their deals expire.

•  Two-way contract:
  Players on a two-way contract have their pay dependent on if they are assigned to the NHL or the AHL. All entry-level contracts are two-way contracts.

•  One-way contract:
  Players on a one-way contract are paid the same amount of money regardless of whether they play in the NHL or AHL.
