Manitoba Moose sign goalie Garrett Bartus to a professional tryout agreement

I thought the Moose may have planned to call up prospect Jamie Phillips from the ECHL who is currently with the Tulsa Oilers.  He will head to Glenn Fallls, NY for the ECHL All-Star game and the Moose have instead signed Garrett Bartus to a professional tryout agreement.
