Somethign I learned with the Avs signed Rene Bourque to a PTO. You need to have a certain amount of Vets dressed for Pre-Season games.
So if a club has quite a few players in the World Cup, chances are they wont be playing many or the vast majority of the pre-season games, or if the plan is to rest some of the signed vets.....you need guys like Higgins, Bourque, etc just to conform to the vets requirement |

Good point,
What the hell happened to Higgins? Too much tofu and Phish out there on the left coast?
Get the man a Tbone, a dip of Skoal, and shot if Alberta Springs and see what happens. |

Yep. League rules state teams need to dress a minimum 8 vets per pre-season game. The more you have the more rest you can give guys prior to the season starting. |

I'd love to hear what those conversations are when the team is talking to the player... I would have rather seen Prust coming here on a PTO... |

I just dont know what or how many games played that someone is considered a vet, so a super young team with multiple ELCs might have a hard time meeting the vet requirement too? |

I liked Jack Skille last year for the Avs coming off a PTO, he was decent speed on the 4th line. Was effective the 1st half of the season, disappeared the 2nd half.
Im shocked he hasnt gotten a PTO yet either |

I am shocked no one has signed Nakladal. He is an NHL Dman that would be great on a bottom pairing.

This is surprising to me too
Maybe he has an agreement with BT based on how much Johnny signs for ...the more money available maybe he gets a little more on his salary |

Nothing wrong with taking a look and seeing what he brings.
I doubt he makes the team, but that's okay. We'll take a look in training camp and preseason and send him on his way. Unless he plays so unreal he earns a spot, but I dom't think anyone is expecting that. |

Yep, pretty much nailed it. Hopefully he proves he can still play well enough to get offered a contract from some other team.
Worst case: he goes to Europe and lives like a king running at 1ppg in a lesser league. |
