(I left off any remaining 15 year olds as they are ineligible to play full time this season)
You can see that some teams are down to just 1 or 2 16 year olds already, which is certainly good news for the ones they have left on their rosters. There are also some teams with very unbalanced rosters - very deep in some age groups and very weak in others. Those are teams that ordinarily would bear watching for possible trades as they try to shore up weak age groups by moving players from stronger groups.
And the overage situations too....Saskatoon still has eight of them. They may lose some to the NHL yet but they are for sure one of the teams to watch in that trade department.

what teams have import openings? Sometimes its hard to tell...
SC has an extra, and TC might soon have an opening with the fact they got the two headed monster in net
Brandon and Calgary have only one import, and Kootenay has none. No idea whether the Ice would even be interested though since they deliberately chose not to draft any.
Other than Swift, nobody has extras at the moment, although a few teams (such as Tri-City, Saskatoon, Everett) may or may not have extras in the next few weeks depending on whether missing imports report or whether players are returned from the NHL, etc.
Brayden Cuthbert and Morgan Reilly are both still with the Warriors at this time as well as AJ Johnson. Travis Brown is also still on the roster and should see ice this weekend in Brandon. So I think that leaves the Warriors with like 4 16 year olds still in camp?
Frazee Hood Rowinski Edwards Suer and Bosch are the 20 year olds that are fighting out the 20 year old situation. Rowinski is out with an injury for another month or two. Still that only leaves 5 20year olds in camp at this time. Just wanted to shed some light on it for you.
I may be mistaken or maybe they acquired another but I don't think so.
Travis Brown (Warriors) has been recalled due to the injury to Erhardt at Edmonton rookie camp and as well Mcfaull and McIrath are at NHL training Camps. As well as Chad Suer is injuried.
I think the only 19's at MH are Vey, Grbavac, Dezman, Owuya and Konan. 5 not 8?
Dubyk, Sohn, and Pitlick are all 19 as well. That adds up to 8.
Thanks for all the work and updates Alan. Always good to keep up to the news of our fav teams!
Alan !!! Where is Mike Forsyth (92)off the Warriors !!! He had an assist last night game vs Brandon.
