And then there were 19...

Randy Murphy made two more cuts today as he waived Jason Schulz and Joe Pace. It would've been a great story for the local boy Schulz to make the cut, but the odds definitely were not stacked in his favor with five proven CHL defensemen in training camp. Maybe Eric Soltys is looking for a d-man... As for Pace, he seemed like a sound performer on the back end, but I think he and Schulz both were definitely outshined by Russell Smith this past weekend. He moves very well for a large defenseman and, from what I saw on Saturday, he knows when to jump into the play and when to stay at home. I'm interested to see who Murphy pairs up on the back end for Friday

I think Schulz has a place on the Columbus Cottonmouths roster. Through the grapevine, I heard that is where he was heading prior to showing up at training camp

Yeah Schulz has had a spot on the Cottonmouths since he left last there last season. He always skates camp with the Scorpions.

Schulz leaves in the morning to go back to his team, We wish him luck......
