Which is fine in the regular season but you dont want to be throwing guys into the NHL line up in the playoffs unless they have been there before and had time/practice with the big club.
Thats why so many "adds" at the TDL are cheaper journeymen who may be nothing more than 8-10 minute guys on the teams they are on in the regular season.
Guys like Pelletier, Gawdin (who i dont see NHL in him at all), Mackey would be last choice for Sutter as there just is no time to learn on the fly in the post season.
An argument can be made for getting them time during the season for sure but that would almost require injuries to happen and no one wants that.
