The second day of NHL free agency had direct impacts on the 2018-19 Hartford Wolf Pack roster. Scott Kosmachuk parted ways with the organization following a strong and dominant year with Hartford. Bobby Butler, Drew Melanson, and Jason Salvaggio all joined the Wolf Pack on American Hockey League contracts. Hartford is not done making moves despite retaining the majority of last season’s roster. Chris Drury must address the need to bring in additional veterans for leadership and helping the prospects adjust to the professional game. Hartford’s signings do not affect the cap for the Rangers, nor do they add to the roster limit of the organization, as AHL deals are solely for Hartford.
