And I have no problem with waiving him if he's been passed by other pieces we can build around, but this roster is hot garbage - it's a classic late 90s flames roster chock full of just enough journeymen not to rebuild properly who offer zero value to the flames when they are actually into another window.
This franchise does such a poor job embracing youth and actually rebuilding, super frustrating to always be the dumbasses shooting for 17th place.

Pelletier has had his chances. Bottom line is he hasn’t delivered, in part due to injury. But let’s be real. He’s 23. He’s being outplayed by 19-year-olds. Letting him sit in the press box because he might have some potential left is the wrong call. He needs game time and he’s not ready for NHL game time.
