though it was probably inevitable, sucks for him he didn't get to stay around longer and get a chance to play more. unlike switzer, straub didn't look as out of place out there. hopefully he can stay around in the ahl at some point.

He's already signed in Vegas....and they need bodies there! I'm sure he'll be a welcome addition!
