The team has come a long ways in it's approach from where it was but still can't help but fill out roster spots with vet signings instead of leaving them for the young talent were developing.

It will be just to start the season. Huska even said the audition period goes weeks into the season. When some of these players that are knocking on the door get their opportunity in the NHL, they may not stay to the end of the season. A partial NHL season at the start of the season or later on in the season will mean similar things to their development. Losing a potential asset like Pelletier because they rush a prospect who turns out to be not quite ready for a full season in the NHL would be a mistake. I think they should give Pelts some games to begin the season to see how he'll do in real games.
