Note: Some new numbers for players next season. The most significant for fans is that Jack Roslovic is ditching his familiar 52 for the number 28 (which if he players with Ehlers and Laine could see a line of 27-28-29). As well Laurent Brossoit is 30, Nicolas Kerdiles is 49, Seth Griffith is 16, Simon Bourque is 52 and Dennis Everberg is 45.
