Memphis signs Keith Aucoin and Ted Crowley. Colorado lands Chris Hartsburg. You gotta like how the Eagles are able to reel in those Denver and CC boys.
Of course last year, AHL-caliber talents such as these would have been cannon fodder for the folks who think those teams are cheaters. This year it's just an indication of how hard it is to land a job during the lockout. (I mean, geez -- Dad couldn't even get Chris a spot in Phantoms camp?)
Along those same lines, I hear Fort Worth might be picking up a pretty good player with the initials "BL."
That is, another one -- someone who's related to a former Buck, and played for a team Al Sims was once the coach of (though he didn't play for Sims).
