Randy Murphy's taking steps in the right direction in terms of overhauling the Scorpions' defense core, adding ECHL defenseman Michael Beynon to the mix. Beynon doesn't have a wealth of experience under his belt, but a guy with a minor ECHL pedigree and a bit of time at AHL camp definitely can't hurt what has been a very inexperienced back end.
To make room for Beynon, Murphy waived Russell Smith. Smith was another genuinely nice guy and a character, to boot. Best of luck wherever he ends up.
Murphy also placed Tyler Fuller on the 14-day IR, while Mike MacDonald came off and is expected to suit up tonight. I expect that "Mini Mac" will take shifts as the 4th man on the checking line, while my guess is that we'll see Beynon maybe paired with Dylan Row.
