While the Carolina Hurricanes haven't officially announced their roster, we do know what it will look like, based on the the team's taxi squad, along with the players who were assigned to the AHL.
Those were assigned were: Antoine Bibeau, Jeremy Bracco, David Cotton, Jason Cotton, Seth Jarvis, Joey Keane, Stelio Mattheos, Jamieson Rees, Sheldon Rempal, Drew Shore and Spencer Smallman, Ryan Suzuki.
Meanwhile, Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell announced the taxi squad will consist of: Jake Bean, Morgan Geekie, Steven Lorentz, Max McCormick and Joakim Ryan. NHL.com's Michael Smith also noted that Nedeljkovic will join the taxi squad, after clearing waivers.
Alex Nedeljkovic has cleared waivers and will be assigned to the #Canes taxi squad, which also includes Bean, Geekie, Lorentz, McCormick and Ryan. All six players (third goalie required) are traveling with the team on this trip.

A note on goaltender Anton Forsberg: He's remained in Edmonton since being claimed on waivers by Carolina this week. Now that the #hurricanes passed Alex Nedeljkovic through waivers and assigned him to their taxi squad, they're taking calls on Forsberg.

Of the eight players who cleared waivers this week, Bibeau, Bracco, Shore and Smallman were sent down, while Lorentz, McCormick, Nedeljkovic and Ryan were named to the taxi squad.
Among the names assigned to the AHL were Seth Jarvis, Jamieson Rees and Ryan Suzuki, who are all CHL eligible. Should their respective seasons begin, each player is likely to return to their junior team.
