It's been confirmed that Konrad Reeder is back stateside and plans to sign with the Colorado Eagles. I can't even begin to imagine what that team's going to look like with three first lines.
As far as the Scorpions go, it sounds like Seth Leonard will report, so that's a positive for Randy Murphy & co.
In other moves, it sounds like Jeff Genovy has opted to play in the SPHL so the Scorpions won't be seeing him after all, at least not for now. The powers that be also signed two very promising rookies in forwards Torren Delforte and Neil Trimm. The two were paired up alongside Mitch Stephens at morning skate and they looked extremely sharp, cycling the puck well and showing the kind of energy and intensity Randy Murphy can't help but like. And I'll tell fans right now, after meeting Delforte at today's media luncheon, the guy has an absolutely infectious personality. He's all smiles about finding his way into the pro ranks and if he stays around, he'll be a fan favorite for sure.
Lastly, the Scorpions also signed forward Corey Courchene after he cleared waivers. He was due in today but, as Adam Minnick told me, he won't get on an airplane, so he's steadily puttering along on a bus from Odessa. Should be here by this weekend.

Adam, with the addition of the 3 new guys where does that put our roster number at? It seems short notice to bring new guys in, because it would be tough to evaluate them in just 2 days. Rosters do need to be at 18or 19 by Friday, I think. It will be interesting to see the lines Murphy puts together.
thanks, Eric
If you count Seth Leonard, who is expected to join the Scorps early next week, I believe there are currently 22 guys on the roster. Today is the final day for evaluations, and Randy Murphy will submit his finalized roster by this afternoon
