And the full roster is quite revealing. While this is NOT necessarily the final roster that we'll field April 7th, it's close to it. Certain trades may still be made through April 15th, and people can still be added and dropped.
Rapids reveal roster compliance list.
In this case, Matt Jordan (GK) and Fabrice Noel (forward) were dropped at the last minute, and available to be picked up by another team tomorrow during a teleconference Waiver Draft.
What was *not* revealed was the fate of Aitor Karanka, our useful Spanish left back. He was neither waived nor dropped, yet he is not listed on the roster. I'm sure there's some legalese on how that could happen, or maybe his contract was simply not renewed. Who knows? The Rapids certainly wouldn't share that kind of boring player news.
Note: only 17 players are listed on the Rapids Senior Roster. Most of us assume that's because Zach Thornton still has to be officially signed by the Rapids. Either that, or we're going with only one goalkeeper for the season!
