Though not officially announced by the Saginaw Spirit, the team has reportedly signed 2008 first round pick Brandon Saad.
In an article in the Saginaw News, Spirit coach-GM Todd Watson commented on the rugged forward who was the NAHL's top rookie in 2009 with the Mahoning Valley Phantoms and a member of the U.S. National Team Development Program last season.
"He's an all around player (and) he brings a lot to the table," said Watson. "He can play in all situations. He can score. He's a power forward. He can score goals, he has good hands, he can play physical, and will be a great asset to our program."
