EDIT: D Andre Benoit was signed today(Friday August 6th) to a 1 year, 2 way deal.
With the signing of Corey Cowick to an entry level deal today it would appear the Sens are pretty much done signing players...for now. So as we look at the depth in the organization it appears there will not only be some great battles to make the make the big club, but sticking around in the AHL might even be dicey for a few players. By my count there will 46 players in camp that have at least a 2 way contract. I'm sure there will also be some Amateur and Pro try outs as there were 55 players at last year's camp.
One way contracts(+Karlsson): 21
Regin Spezza Alfredsson
Michalek Fisher Kovalev
Foligno Kelly Neil
Ruutu Winchester Shannon
Phillips Karlsson
Gonchar Kuba
Campoli Carkner
Lee
Leclaire
Elliott
-of course Jared Cowen is a wildcard as he has to go back to junior if doesn't make the big team. Also of note, David Rundblad has an entry level deal but will spend another year overseas.
Two way contracts: 24
Entry Level: 15 (waiver exempt)
Veteran: 9 (Locke, Keller, Lessard, Bass, Hale, Kinrade, D. Smith, Benoit, Brodeur)
Wick Locke Butler
Hoffman Z. Smith Keller
Daugavins O'Brien Condra
Cowick Greening Dziurzynski
Bailey Bass Lessard
Wiercioch Gryba
Hale Kinrade
D. Smith Schira
Benoit
Lehner
Brodeur
-Players like Wick, Butler, Z. Smith, Locke, Keller, Cowen, Wiercioch, Gryba, Hale, Lehner and Brodeur will all head to camp believing if they really stand out and outplay some veterans the big club will find a spot for them. The trickle down will be interesting to watch as Binghamton fans should benefit.

You left out Tifu, He will be battling for a spot in Bingo.
This list only includes those on at least 2 way deals. I believe he is just on an AHL deal like goaltender Barry Brust.
Aaron Ward retired today.
Is it wrong that I cheered that Bryan Murray didn't give him a 7 year-deal with a no-trade, telling us how he's a great character guy?
Look forward to more blogs during the season, great show!
