Offseason Player Tracker
We know the offseason can be long and tedious, so we created this offseason tracker to help you navigate through the process of us starting to build our team for the 2024-25 season.
Here are the important dates to know as we start to prepare for next season:
Protected List: Due June 8 at 3:00 p.m.
Only ECHL contracts can be on this list. There is no limit to how many players can be listed, and even players who were suspended or extended a qualifying offer last summer may be included.
Future Considerations Trade Deadline: June 20 at 3:00 p.m.
Trades that have future considerations components must be completed by this date.
-Wichita is owed a player from Orlando as a part of the Kelly Bent trade
-Wichita owes Idaho as a part of the trade for Nick Nardella
Season-Ending Roster: Due June 22 at 3:00 p.m.
Maximum 20 players. Only ECHL contracts can be on this list. If a team names a player to its season-ending roster, that team has exclusive rights to negotiate with and sign that player until qualifying offers are due.
FIRST DAY TO SIGN CONTRACTS: June 23
Get excited! This is when pen can start getting put to paper, and you begin to find out who will be taking the ice for the upcoming season!
Qualifying Offers Due: July 7 at 11:59 p.m.
Maximum 8 players. If a team hasn't signed a player prior to this date, they may extend that player a qualifying offer. That offer ensures that the player's ECHL rights stay with that team for a full season. The exception to that rule is veterans (260 pro games or more), who can become a restricted free agent on August 8th, if they have not signed or accepted the offer.
Below, you will see various lists of players who played in Wichita in 2023-24, or had their ECHL rights with Wichita in 2023-24, and what their statuses are for the 2024-25 season.
