I looked at their web site when I was trying to find Ric Jackman, but instead found a bunch of interesting prospect names that seem to be heading or possibly heading to the team. At least, interesting for those in deep keeper pools.

Already signed are goalie Jordan Parise (Zach\'s brother, who wasn\'t resigned by the Devils) and budding power play specialist D Mario Scalzo (who wasn\'t signed by Tampa who\'ve traded f0or him last year).

More interesting is a quartet of players who are there seemingly on a tryout basis. These include:

- Minny\'s former 1st round pick A J Thelen, who wasn\'t signed by the club following his first pro season, spent entirely in the ECHL.

- Once highly regarded Kings prospect Petr Kanko, who wasn\'t resigned by them this summer.

- Undersized Ryan Mcdonough (not to be confused with Habs D prospect Mcdonagh), who has scored 118 goals and 238 points in 196 games over the last 3 WHL seasons.

- Undersized junior phenom Colton Yellow Horn (still owned in both my leagues), who was last year\'s WHL top goalscorer with 48 goals and 97 points in 67 games in what is considered the most defensive of the three CHL leagues.

Just an FYI.

Interesting revelations, Fzusher. Odd to see so many north american kids flocking to a european team like that.

Salzburg have announced the tryouts of McDonough and Yellow-Horn were successful. I don\'t know if that means they are already signed or if they will now start negotiating. Also, couldn\'t find anything on Kanko and Thelen. The story is not up yet on the English language version of the Salzburg site.
