Just short term to fill a spot short term, maybe end up in the minors

Yeah, this isn't really any kind of news, he'll play a few exhibition games & fill in roster for split squad practise scrimmages & so on. Doubt he survives the 2nd round of cuts.

Like others have said, I see this as a filler for pre-season and possibly a tactic in the Bennett negotiations to show that we have a plan B if he doesn't sign before opening day.

Bottom line, you need a couple of players in a bottom six role that can be that aggressor type player. Ones that can grind a team down, forecheck and keep players in check without hurting your team, especially in the division we're in. A Hathaway type, but with a little more experience.

Flames please sign him for opening roster so Boll won't be the worst player in the division - ... Boll still might be even if Glass in on Flames roster -

Haha yes signing Glass to a PTO really puts the pressure on the Bennett camp

Agreed, can't see the point of this. What's up with Vanek ? Wonder if he'd consider a PTO, he could probably come in and be the 1st line RW if decides he wants it.

Um, what? He doesn't even play the same position as Bennett. He's also Tanner Glass.

Not that I like Deadwing fans but he does have a point about the pressure on Bennett negotiation. Now if they brought Galchenyuk or Duschene, that might put a little pressure on Benny

I was laughing at your idiotic post. Also DET sucking has nothing to do with laughing at another team or their fans.

Please enlighten me with what's so idiotic about it? A simple dumb laughing emoji doesn't seem to tell me much, except that you don't have any sensible hockey response

Because it is a stretch that a player like you described is even useful. And Glass is absolutely not even close to the type of player you described.

I don't give a rats a$$ about Tanner Glass!! My point was we need some players that have a bite to them. Then even described what type of player I had in mind, like one with speed and wouldn't hurt the team. I even mentioned one like Hathaway but better and with more experience. Tanner Glass is done, he's just a body in training camp and to play a couple of preseason games as a veteran player since you have to play so many. If they do sign him, he'll go the farm
