You may have a track record and a skill set, but a part of what you're being tested for is your ability to bring it on command. Pre-season is a prospects Stanley Cup Game 7. If you have an off day during the most important game of your career, than how reliable of a player are you? One of the biggest leaps between the AHL and NHL is consistency, not just game to game, but shift to shift.
