Forwards Rob Hennigar and Jacob Micflikier (now there's a name I have to quadruple-check every time to make sure I spelled it right; even then, it looks wrong) were sent to ECHL Florida today.
The move leaves the Albany River Rats roster at 23 heading into Saturday's regular-season opener against Manchester at the former Knickerbocker Arena.
It's likely that this will be the roster that Albany begins the season with, barring any late moves from the Carolina Hurricanes, who are also at 23 players including forward Michael Ryan, defenseman Jay Harrison and swingman Tim Conboy.
Goalies: Justin Peters, Mike Murphy.
Defense: Jamie McBain, Benn Olson, Zack Fitzgerald, Brett Carson, Jonathan Paiement, Bryan Rodney, Brett Bellemore.
Forwards: Nick Dodge, Drayson Bowman, Mike Angelidis, Zach Boychuk, Steven Goertzen, Matthew Pistilli, Stefan Chaput, Jerome Samson, Harrison Reed, Brandon Sutter, Pat Dwyer, Chris Terry, Nicolas Blanchard, Brad Herauf.

Several ex-Rats are on the move. Buffalo assigned forward Cody McCormick to Portland; Hershey sent Keith Aucoin (who's on a one-way contract this season) back to Hershey, where he's reunited with Alex Giroux; forward Ryan Bayda, invited to training camp on a tryout, signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins; goalie Tyler Weiman is back in the AHL with Lake Erie; Atlanta sent defenseman Michael Vernace to AHL Chicago; (former RPI) forward Kirk MacDonald joined Providence from Boston; St. Louis shipped forward Barry Tallackson to Peoria; forward Jamie Johnson is in Rochester; defensemen Chris Lee and Wade Brookbank are in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton;
and forward Brad Isbister formally announced his retirement.
Elsewhere, New Jersey sent Altamont native Jay Leach to Lowell; drafted 25th overall by Edmonton in 2004 but never able to stick with the Oilers, Rob Schremp was claimed by the Islanders off waivers today.
