Fleet roster reset: Where Boston's roster stands after shakeup from free agency and the PWHL Draft
Teams then had an opportunity to rebuild their rosters through free agency and The free agent signing period opened June 16 and is ongoing. Signing will pause Friday at 2 p.m. and resume July 8 at 9 a.m. Advertisement Here's a look at the Fleet's departures and acquisitions during the tumultuous expansion period, plus projected lineups heading into next season: The departures The loss of Knight to Seattle was the shot heard 'round the league, but the Fleet quietly lost a few other stars. Five defenders from the 2024-25 roster — Sydney Bard (Vancouver), Emily Brown (Seattle), Emma Greco (Vancouver), Jess DiGirolamo (Montreal), and Sidney Morin (Minnesota) — are headed elsewhere. The expansion teams poached Bard and Brown during the exclusive signing period, while Greco, DiGirolamo, and Morin were on expiring contracts and signed in free agency. Advertisement Forward Hannah Bilka signed with Seattle after a standout rookie year in which she netted five goals and added six assists in 16 games. She'll be joined in Seattle by forward Lexie Adzija, who spent the past season and a half with Boston as a physical two-way player. It's also worth noting that the Fleet are on the hunt for a new coach. The Fleet will be without Hilary Knight (left) Emily Brown (bottom right), and Jess DiGirolamo (top right) next season. Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe The acquisitions The Fleet recouped their losses by signing six players thus far in free agency: three forwards, two defenders, and a goalie. Boston announced its first two signings, forwards Chloe Aurard and Liz Schepers, on June 18. Aurard, who inked a one-year deal with the Fleet, spent the past two seasons with New York and will reunite in Boston with Müller, her former Northeastern linemate. Aurard had two goals and two assists in 27 games with the last-place Sirens last season. Schepers, who scored the winner for Minnesota in Game 5 of the past two Walter Cup Finals, signed a two-year deal in Boston. Schepers had two goals and four assists in 27 games last season. Rounding out the forward group is Laura Kluge, who signed a one-year deal June 20. Kluge joined Toronto on a training camp invite in 2024 but didn't sign a contract with the Sceptres until February. The Fleet also added defenders Rylind MacKinnon (Toronto) and Zoe Boyd (Ottawa), and goaltender Abbey Levy (New York), all on one-year contracts. At the end of her three-year stint at Boston College, Levy held the program records for save percentage (.940) and saves per game (31.96). Advertisement Boston also made six selections in the PWHL draft, Related : Other draft picks include forwards Ella Huber (Minnesota), Olivia Mobley (Minnesota Duluth), and Abby Newhook (Boston College); defender Riley Brengman (Ohio State); and goaltender Amanda Thiele (Ohio State). The Fleet selected defender Haley Winn in the first round of the PWHL draft. Tony Avelar/Associated Press The players sticking around Free agents Susanna Tapani, Theresa Schafzahl, and Jill Saulnier — all forwards who were on expiring contracts — signed one-year extensions to stay with the Fleet. The question marks Six players from last season's roster remain unsigned: Emma Söderberg, Klara Peslarova, Loren Gabel, Amanda Pelkey, Jillian Dempsey, and Kelly Babstock. Söderberg and Peslarova, both goaltenders, will not return to the PWHL this season and intend to sign with teams in the Swedish league, a team source told the Globe. Dempsey and Babstock spent most of last season on reserve contracts and made nine appearances each in game action. Gabel appeared in 20 games (2 goals, 1 assist), while Pelkey had 5 points (3 goals, 2 assist) in 25 appearances.
