They explained this briefly on 960, and i probably have a few details wrong, but 8 NHL veterans MUST be dressed for each pre-season game. A veteran is defined by a bunch of things including:
- 1st round draft pick from most recent draft
- a goalie who dressed for 50+ games last year
- a skater that played 30+ games last year
- more than 100 nhl games played
This is probably a big reason for a lot of teams signing so many PTOs
