Since the July update, we’ve seen the following changes:
- I reluctantly deleted Jan Marek from the reserve list. (p.s. Marek led the KHL in goals three years ago; I did not know that. RIP, Jan.)
- Westgarth, two year extension.
- Andreoff and Czarnik, three year ELCs.
- Roach, three year ELC after coming to camp on a try-out.
- Legein acquired in trade from (who else) Philly.
- Garrett Roe and Joshua (“Podge”) Turnbull were not signed. Roe is in the AHL, having signed with the Flyers. Turnbull is playing for the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL.
- Jersey ## updates for Voynov, Fraser, Martinez.
- Moreau and Hunter signed one year deals.
- The Kings have 48 contracts that count against the 50 contract limit. Three additional contracts (Roach, Weal, Toffoli) do not count against the limit, because they are under the age of 20 and are still playing in juniors. (Andreoff is also still playing in juniors, but he is not under 20, so his contract counts.)
- The Kings’ average age is 27.36, as of today.
- The Monarchs’ average age is 23.18, as of today.
- Doughty is currently on the IR, and Fraser must still be officially “Injured Non-Roster” since otherwise the Kings have a roster of 24, which can’t be.
The table is fully sortable. I personally enjoy clicking on the age and draft year columns; sorting the entire list by jersey number is fun, too. (oh, by the way, the numbers of the non-roster players are their most recent Kings roster/prospect/training-camp numbers, not their numbers in Manchester, juniors, college, etc.).

To reiterate the terms and rules, as defined in the CBA:
“Active roster” – a team must have between 20 and 23 players on its active roster. These players must be under contract (except in the case of amateur tryouts, like Brayden Schenn had in the 2009-2010 season).
“50 contract limit” – a team must have between 27 and 50 players under contract. There are some funky rules related to this, the main ones being that players playing in Europe (e.g. Moller) and players under the age of 20 still playing in juniors (e.g. Toffoli, Weal, Roach), even if under contract, don’t count against the limit.
“Reserve list” – a team may not have more than 90 players on its reserve list, which is the total of all players under contract and all unsigned draft-picks.
KEY:
exp. indicates the year the player’s current contract expires. All contracts expire on 7/1 of that year. However, in the case of unsigned picks, it’s the year they must be signed by (two years after their draft year, or, in the case of college players, either the year they graduate or — if they don’t stay in school — four years after their draft year). Generally, college players must be signed by 8/15 of the year of their graduation, and juniors players must be signed by 6/1.
nxt. refers to the player’s free-agency status as of 7/1 of that year.
dr y(t) refers to the player’s draft year and draft team.
s/a (t) refers to the year in which the player signed their last contract with the Kings (if applicable) or was acquired by the Kings (if applicable). The team from which the player was acquired, (or, if UFA, the player’s previous team) is in parentheses. Double parentheses indicate that the player was signed as a UFA and previously played for the team in (()).
we y(g) indicates the year in which (on 7/1) the player’s waiver-exemption expires, and the number of games played left before the player’s waiver-exemption expires, whichever comes first. The listed number of games remaining is accurate as of the day this posts, 12 noon.
age refers to the players age at the time the chart was last updated by me (10/18/11, in this case).
(1), (0) etc. — the numbers in parentheses after a player’s team name indicates the number of years of eligibility he has in juniors or college, as applicable. Note, however, that some players (e.g. players drafted out of Europe, not out of juniors — Kitsyn comes to mind) are able to play in the AHL even if they still have junior eligibility remaining. Also, juniors are allowed to carry “over-age” players and this can allow a player with a (0) to stay in juniors after he’s turned 20 (e.g. Andreoff).
