I don't think you can say it's as black and white as a prospect taking the spot from an established NHLer.

Once you've signed them, they're going to play regardless of how bad they are (see Wideman and Brouwer) because of contract, waiver and veteran status. You can maybe bury them on the 4th but there's only so many overpaid veterans who can be hidden there.
