Sure 1 cheap vet would be fine. The idea would be to have your younger players getting some NHL icetime so they're getting ready to eventually play more when needed. I don't think anyone expects these guys to jump straight into top 4when needed.
I don't want Bartowski with the big club, he should be in the AHL. He had his moments but mostly he was pretty bad last year.
