Time for a few more moves...


Good news for the Scorpions as John Mazzei finally sorted out immigration and has been cleared to play. The bad news is that Randy Murphy now has to make an additional roster cut to accommodate for the Bowling Green grad. Personally, I've been very excited to see what Mazzei can do for the Scorps, as he looked great in training camp and practice. He seems like the kind of player that could fit in well on just about any line Murphy has assembled right now, but I personally could see a guy with his playmaking ability alongside a natural shooter like Macdonald or Robertson. Now, given that Delforte has been nothing short of amazing in first five games, I can't see moving him off that top line. But... I also noticed that he had some instant chemistry with Neil Trimm and Mitch Stephens during training camp, so there's a possibility that Murphy puts those three together and slots Mazzei in with Robertson and Leonard. Tons of decisions to be made between now and Friday, but I think this is the first time we'll be able to see the full potential of the Scorpions this season.
