But I also think at times guys like him, haven't had good camps and haven't really shown they are ready.
So it's a little of both I think.
Having Brian McGratton take up a roster spot all season doesn't help either.

I think McGrattan (or equivalent) still has a place in the NHL. Ideally, it would be someone like Eager who can actually play. McGrattan makes $500K, so I am fine with that - it's not like he is taking more salary cap room than he should. If we had signed Laraque, for $1.5M we would have a problem. I really, really hope we don't do something stupid like sign Nystrom for $1.3M.
