Outside of showing that he is in shape, which is more likely is, I think teams know exactly what they are getting. Even if not invited to a camp from the start, either an injury early in camp, or some the shine and lustre of a supposed prospect that was assumed to make the next step, comes off really quick, and Iginla is getting a call and is plugged in right away.

Look at Versteeg last year, he got one practice in as a Flame before opening night.

And as someone else mentioned in the Jagr thread, future HOF’ers aren’t going to get offered PTO’s.
