The Texas Stars announced today that they have signed forward Will Merchant to a PTO. The rookie forward was one of the last cuts from training camp and has been in the front of the line for a PTO for a while out of Idaho. He's made his bones in the ECHL on the power play. He may not make it to Milwaukee in time for tonight's game, however. Texas may have to roll 8 D again to get 18 skaters.
Here's the release:
