I wonder if Milano is able to play his off wing?

I’m pretty sure i’ve seen Milano play both sides. I actually really like the signing. This will give the Flames 3 great passers in Huberdeau, Kadri, and Milano. That’s exactly the sort of creativity we’ve been lacking in the offensive zone.
I also really like the fact it’s a PTO. It really gives Sutter and the team a way to see if he will fit the room and/or be able to learn how to play D.
As for Pelletier, I had my reservations about giving him a spot. I also don’t think he will be terrible in a 4th line role like Mangiapane was in his first season. The competition is great, and that signing is a good insurance.
