Please note that this is ALL that is needed, provided all of the players are on the pro team. You should include callups and send-downs, but it is not necessary to list the pro team, farm team, or scratches, and the program will dress each player where ever you list him above, so say Sandstrom is listed with the LWs above, he will be dressed at LW regardless of his position on the permanent roster.
