Tips and Broncos Prospects Sign In Austria:
-Speaking of Ryan Savage; he apparently has agreed to play with EC Red Bull Salzburg this coming season, making it unlikely that he will ever play for the Silvertips. He was taken in the 4th round of the 2015 Bantam Draft. Joining him in signing with EC Salzburg was fellow Silvertip's Draft Pick: Forward Carson Dimoff (7th Round: 2014), as well as, Swift Current Bronco's Draft Pick: Forward Riley Stotts (1st Round: 2015). According to Gregg Drinnan's: Taking Notes, the Stotts signing is only "rumored" thus far. Since EC Salzburg has U-16, U-17, U-18 and U-20 squads it's likely that these three will not be playing in the WHL, unless an NHL team drafted them and requested that they play in the Dub.

| Pouliot |
-Former Winterhawk: Derrick Pouliot was reportedly, quite impressive at Pittsubrgh Penguin's development camp. His team shut out the other squad 6-0 and Pouliot stood out defensively. If he continues to improve in his own end, he will be locked in as a top 4 D-man for the Pens and will be relied upon to play heavy minutes, especially since they just lost Paul Martin to San Jose in Free Agency. Pouliot also showed toughness during the scrimmage by playing through a cut he received from a teammate's stick.
