Players Under Contract
| Name | Position | Status | Notes |
| Andrew Agozzino | LW | Two-Way | Top offensive weapon for the Monsters scoring 30 goals and 64 points last season (both team highs). – Signed 7/16 |
| Troy Bourke | C | ELC | Great skater who plays at 100% as soon as he hits the ice. Gives opposing defenseman fits on the forecheck. |
| Trevor Cheek | C | ELC | Speedy grit player destined for bottom 6 minutes in San Antonio. |
| Dennis Everberg | RW | Two-Way | Could get squeezed out in Colorado and start with Rampage. Power forward scored 7 points in 12 games with Lake Erie last season before finishing in Colorado. |
| Freddie Hamilton | C | RFA (Qualified) | Acquired on deadline day and spent most of his time in Colorado. Good all around player with offensive skill. |
| Samuel Henley | LW | ELC | Hard working defensive specialist. Big body and tremendous forechecker and PK specialist |
| Joey Hishon | C | Two-Way | Very offensively gifted player who has been hampered by two concussions. If healthy, a quality AHL player that could see a lot of time in NHL. – Signed 7/27 |
| Andreas Martinsen | LW | Two-Way | Big bodied LW signed to an ELC out of Germany. Figures to be a Rampage mainstay. |
| Garrett Meurs | RW | ELC | 4th line role player who plays the pest to a T. Probably starts in ECHL and serves as a depth callup. |
| Borna Rendulic | RW | ELC | Big and talented player coming off a major injury. Plays a typical Euro game (tons of skill) and has a great attitude. |
| Colin Smith | C | ELC | Undersized but very skilled playmaker. Two-way player who likely slots in as the #2 center in San Antonio. |
| Ben Street | C | Two-Way | Tremendously skilled player who will be one of the Rampage’s leaders, both on and off the scoresheet. Street will likely become a fan favorite very early. |
| Gabriel Beaupre | D | ELC | Physical despite his average size. Still just 22 years old. Could get frequesnt flyer miles between San Antonio and ECHL |
| Chris Bigras | D | ELC | Avs top prospect. Extremely gifted and talented. Could challenge for a spot in Colorado but likely to get top pairing minutes in San Antonio to start. |
| Mat Clark | D | Two-Way | Acquired from the Ducks. Dependable stay-at-home D-man. Good depth player. -Signed 7/16 |
| Cody Corbett | D | ELC | Puck moving D-man coming off a terrible season. Probably on the Rampage’s bottom pairing if not packaged as part of a trade. |
| Mason Geertsen | D | ELC | Rookie who came in for last 9 games of Monsters season. Big and punishing D-man. The “foil” to Chris Bigras. |
| Maxim Noreau | D | One-Way | Injured for second half of 2015 season. Captain material and will be a mainstay on the Rampage blue line. Scored 30 pts in just 39 games. |
| Duncan Siemens | D | ELC | Big and physical D-man. Former first round pick who can move the puck surprisingly well. |
| Sami Aittokallio | G | Two-Way | 7/2: Signed with Karpat (Liiga) 8/21: Signed two-way deal with Avs with a European Assignment Clause should he not make the NHL. |
| Spencer Martin | G | ELC | Top goalie prospect after Pickard. Could see some time as backup in San Antonio, but likely to be workhorse in ECHL. |
| Calvin Pickard | G | Two-Way | Played extremely well in both Lake Erie and Colorado last year. Signed to one year, two-way contract and will be given a chance to win backup job with Avs. -Signed 8/6 |
| Roman Will | G | ELC | Probable backup for the Rampage. Won 17 games in Ft. Wayne (ECHL) with a .921% |

| Nikita Zadorov | D | ELC | Bigger return from the O’Reilly deal. Only way he sees San Antonio is if he’s here for a rehab assignment. Top 4 option in Colorado. |
| Mikko Rantanen | RW | ELC | Avs first round pick (10th overall). Eligible to play in San Antonio and could start season with Rampage. Game changing player. |
| Hubert Labrie | D | AHL Contract | Small D-man who plays with a ton of heart and grit. Depth defenseman who will likely shuttle between Ft Wayne and San Antonio. |
| Justin Hamonic | D | AHL Contract | Undrafted 6’4″ rookie D-man coming out of the WHL. Attended Avs development camp and earned himself a pro deal. Played 4 games with Alaska (ECHL) last season. |
| Brandon Gormley | D | 2-Way | 9/9: Acquired from ARI – Former Coyotes 1st round pick who seemed to fall out of favor in Arizona. Still has a very good skillset and could bounce back to become a legit NHL D-man. |
