Players under contract 2008-09 and reserve list

By request, here's a list of the players the Atlanta Thrashers have under contract. Currently 44 players are signed for next year. Newly-drafted defenseman Zach Bogosian is still unsigned. I would expect that one to be done shortly. He wraps up USA national team camp this weekend. There are four goaltenders under contract, but I expect one more to be signed. The organization lost out on college free agent Peter Mannino, who signed with the Islanders, but it would likely be someone else of that vein (turning pro). Note, this doesn't necessarily mean that they will send two to the Chicago Wolves. It's entirely possible that one or two prospects could be assigned somewhere at the AA level that is not Gwinnett.

Signing Bogosian and another goalie would bring the Thrashers up to 46 contracts, leaving a bit of room under the 50-contract limit for flexibility. Below the contracted players are those on the 90-player reserve list.
