American Hockey League teams were required to submit their Clear Day lists as of yesterday, designating a maximum of 22 players that are eligible to compete in the rest of the AHL regular season as well as the upcoming Calder Cup Playoffs (unless emergency situations occur, such as NHL recalls, injuries or suspensions).
Junior players and players on amateur tryout contracts can still be added once their junior or college season has been completed.
The complete set of Clear Day lists can be found here.
Here are this year’s Clear Day lists for the five Southeast Division AHL affiliates:

Skipped our AHL stats pack update last week on account of trade deadline madness and my distinct inability to catch up. Ah, well… Onward and upward.
To get us as up-to-date as possible, we’ll take it back to last Monday and account for everything on the AHL slate for the Southeast affiliates through yesterday.

Smith Stays Positive, Sees Opportunity in AHL Stint

[NOTE: This was originally about to be posted, quite literally, just as news broke of the Lightning dealing Dan Ellis to Anaheim in exchange for fellow goaltender Curtis McElhinney. Mike Smith has since been placed on re-entry waivers. We’ll know as of noon tomorrow whether he’s cleared and will rejoin the Bolts or he’s been claimed by another club.
One thing is certain, as you’ll see in the piece, Smith spoke in reminiscences of Tampa and gave no indication that he was expecting to be recalled. This, as of 5:00 PM, yesterday. Interesting.
All that being said, here’s the piece in its original state, with no editing upon today’s transaction news:]
For Mike Smith, this wasn’t how his tenure with the Tampa Bay Lightning was supposed to turn out.
Brought in from Dallas on February 26th, 2008 in the deal that sent away 2004 Conn Smythe winner and fan favorite, Brad Richards, Smith was supposed to be Tampa Bay’s goaltender of the present and future.
And, for a time, it appeared he was well on his way.
But amid coaching changes, ownership issues and unfortunate injuries at the most inopportune times, Mike Smith was never completely able to fulfill what was once considered his Lightning destiny.
Were it not for bad luck, his time in Tampa seems to have been marked by not having any luck at all.
“I’m not gonna lie to you,” Smith said by phone on Wednesday. “It does seem like that a little bit.”
