The Flames can sign whatever PTO's they want and it doesn't really matter to me. There lots of excuses for the bad camp and bad start last year, but not this year.
The team needs to have a reasonable start and I'd like to see roster decisions for opening night made with a slightly long term view. In general there are enough vets on this team to help carry along a younger player or two, as long as they demonstrate some worthiness in camp.
If signing this guy helps make for a better, more competitive camp which in the long run helps the young players, then fantastic. If he makes the team, then it means a few young guys crapped the bed.
