Always earned, never given. Refreshing to see this motto actually in play. Pelltier didn’t do enough to gain the right to stay. Shouldn’t punish guys like Honzek or Klapka because of waiver eligibility. Often under BT people would complain that young guys never got a chance. This shows that times are different and Conroy is true to his word. Is it risky? Sure, but he didn’t do enough to take a job.
Huska and Conroy were clear from day one. There are jobs up for grabs and unfortunately not everyone will get one. The responsibility was on the player to force their hand. Pelltier didn’t do that.
