On the other hand, if someone signs a PTO in Calgary, they know they'll get a chance to play in the preseason games when the main group is in China. When you're on a PTO, you're not just auditioning for the team you're with, you're auditioning for every team that might offer you a contract.
Look at Versteeg two years ago. Was on a PTO with the Oilers during the preseason, then signed with the Flames.
