The offseason has begun for the Hartford Wolf Pack, and it is time to look at the contract statuses of the roster. At this time a majority of the team will return on October. Still, major changes are expected.
There are a lot of open spots available in which Chris Drury must fill wisely. From the coaches to veterans, the Pack must find an equal balance on ice and a developmental coach that has a successful track record. Who will walk? Who will return? That will be found out later on in the summer.
