They did better on PTO in the past with Rieder and Versteeg. With real training camp and exhibition games maybe the bottom of the line up does not have to be set in the summer. Might be a chance for Pelletier, Zary, or Gadwin to show they belong ahead of other teams failed projects.
Pretty much everyone I just listed has had 40+ point seasons. How many times have Simon, Nordstrom, Rinaldo and Leivo had 40+ point seasons?

And yes, do more signings like the Versteeg Rieder signings. Those were fine.

I do agree with your last point though. The development of Pelletier, Zary, and guys like that should be a priority.
