Bartkowski just isn't that good.

The point I was trying to illustrate is how quickly the market has changed for a variety of players. Glencross, Bartowski, Russell & Jones were all regular NHL players either in 14-15 (Glencross) or last season. It is just surprising in a lot of ways at the speed at the changes in the NHL.
When players are accepting PTO's in my opinion, that usually means the NHL min. deal, 2 way contracts etc aren't on the table for a lot of these players. Personal pride for a lot of these guys mean they need to impress in order to get a job.
We might see some signings from teams here soon but it's still shocking the amount of NHL regulars who are fighting for jobs.
