Awwwwwww............I was hoping to see him get a 20+ game shot at the beginning of the season this year.  Really, what exactly are the Islanders looking for?

Vesce and LeNeveu are still out there as Unrestricted Free Agents.  I found this article (7 weeks old) re Vesce that I don't think has been posted before:

"Ryan earned equity with his performance when he came up and played with us last season..." - Doug Wilson

Equity? What does that mean?  (I think I know what it means but ti seems like a strange turn of phrase.)

Reign coach Karl Taylor is looking forward to seeing Mugford in the orange and blue.

Taylor said the left-winger will fit in well with the team, being such a physical player.

"I am really excited," Taylor said.

"He is fearless, he is big, he uses his body to his advantage, and I think the pro game is going to be really geared to how he plays."

Someone should find the Reign's message board and teach them to sing "Mugford's gonna kill you, Mugford's gonna kill you"...

Topher Scott has signed with the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees. I cannot imagine a more appropriate team for him to play for
