Saw Zimmer on the Steel's 23 man roster. Could he be there for the season or just before and after?

Players that do not have a college commitment 2. Players that are undrafted in the USHL 3. Players that just ...

He is not on their 23 man roster. Perhaps he was added to their affiliate list or it is a mistake as neither league would allow him to be fostered on two teams at the same time.
