Better late than never, right?

So I'm a little slow in posting. Give me a break. I've been galavanting around the DC/Baltimore area, turning 21, and taking in as much (losing) baseball as possible before September 30th takes that away.

Our roster stands at 12 signed players (bolded players attending AHL camps in parentheses):

1. Jean-Michel Daoust (Milwaukee)
2. Matt Macdonald (Rockford)
3. Barret Ehgoetz (Hamilton)
4. Travis Fuller (Milwaukee)
5. Conrad Martin (Milwaukee)
6. Scott Reynolds (Hamilton)
7. Gerard Miller (Hamilton)
8. Chad Starling
9. Avery Wilson (Milwaukee)
10. Greg Gallagher
11. Billy Irish-Baker
12. Matt Rogers

The team has also extended tryout offers to 5 players, which opens up October 5th, with 2006-07 team in parentheses:

1. F Steven Doherty (Kalamazoo - UHL)
2. F Pierre-Olivier Mouton (Kahnawake - QAJHL)
3. D Sean Perkins (Vernon - BCHL)
4. G Lee Lansdowne (Milton Keynes - EPL)
5. G John Smith (Cyclones' emergency backup goalie)

Updates on a few potential returning players from last season...
Out of Montreal: Forwards Cory Urquhart, Mathieu Aubin, Jimmy Bonneau, Greg Stewart; defenseman Jon Gleed, and goaltender Cedrick Desjardins were reassigned from Canadiens camp to Hamilton's. In their preseason opener, Urquhart netted a goal and Cedrick Desjardins turned away 23 shots.
...Nashville: Goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris was among Nashville cuts and saw ice time with Milwaukee in their preseason opener, turning away 12 of 14 shots. Former IHL Cyclone Shane Willis was also reassigned from Nashville to Milwaukee -- could we see a return of Willis?
