The Soundtigers have signed a Dman named Motherwell out of the ECHL (where he had 28 points for in 48 games). Undrafted, he's about six foot and 200 pounds. Had offensively excellent freshman and sophomore seasons at BC mid-2000s before turning pro and putting in a very decent rookie year for Syracuse (16 points in 48 AHL games).
Looks like a guy who can definitely help in the depth department.
Defensive pairings consisted of
Witt-Gleed
Wotton-Klementyev
Motherwell-Gannon
SP, still really the most unimpressive group you've ever seen in the AHL? I might truly have to agree.

The 4th line looked great last night, I always try and support Marcinko but I am not sure what his deal is with regaurds to being out of the line up regularly..
The defense is super weak and very shakey. AK looked decent he made a couple mistakes but seems to get better as the game goes on. No opinion on Motherwell and I am always a fan of Gleed but he has been less then spectacular lately. Witt is so slow an (old lady with a walker could step around him when he is skating backwards).
Smith looked good last night, he looked like he had a aire of confidence he has not had in a while. Radja seems to be Bports best forward since he has been in Bport.
Bport needs a winning streak bad but I just don`t see it with the way there D is set up. Now with regaurds to the playoffs I just don`t see it this year.
