FWIW I disagree that low dollar FA signings "don't matter". You have so many roster spots and the job is to put a good team out on the ice. It's fine to say they're lower risk but the goal is to actually hit on a few of these.

They don't take up roster spots or impact the cap at all if they don't work out.
Simon is a perfect example. He was one of the 23 to start the season, not he isn't. So yeah Simon literally doesn't matter. Free NHL depth whether it works out or not.
Sure you want to find players that work out, but if they're making less than $1.2M they don't hurt you at all if they don't work out.
