Neither of the PTO guys moved the needle and deserved to be cut. I understand the PTO contracts that teams hand out and they are hoping they find some gold in them (Versteeg) but the biggest disappointment to me is the young guys not being able to outplay them and stick around.
The table was set this year for Pelletier and/or someone else to take a spot and they didn't perform even good enough to beat these guys out of a spot. The coaches and GMS's will give the older guys some slack in camp because they have a good idea what they are capable of doing so they are just wanting a young guy to take the spot. I really understand what Sutter is saying all the time.
