Parrots Transactions:
Head Coach Darryl Noren made a number of roster changes this past week. Defenseman Rustam Bakhriddinov was traded to Jacksonville and forward Kristoffer Lidbrandt was placed on waivers. Joining the Parrots were a trio of forwards: Ethan Burnes, who began the year with the Orlando Seals; Justin Martin, who signed a three-game try-out; and Rob Frost, who began the year with the Elmira Jackals of the UHL.
