Yes, but as far as I know it's only a rumor that Jones has been invited on a PTO. Perhaps someone else can confirm?

We let go of most of our PTOs last season so I'm fine with it. Need filler for the split season squad games. When was the last time we let a veteran in on a PTO and they won an NHL gig?

What's your decent authority source behind this?

I'm curious to this as well. Who was the last PTO vet to earn a spot? I just remember Aaron Johnson getting the two-way and going to the heat most recently. But don't remember the last guy that got a one-way.

Though, camp competition is always good, and it broadens Treliving's network of contacts and friends.

If Nakladal is such a good player, I'm confused as to why teams aren't lining up to sign him?
I didn't mind him as a player, but I am So sick of hearing his name!!!

Something tells me that the Jones rumour was started by a hopeful dickbutt.

Raphael Diaz was brought in on a PTO two years ago and signed at the end of camp.

Can't hurt to have someone like him around for camp.

Grossmann never stops working to improve the other areas of his game like puck handling and skating, but he is who he is and he knows that is how he will make his living.
“You always try to get better at other things but playing this way is my shot to be in this league so I keep that as my logo — being a pain in the ass out there and blocking shots and doing the things on the PK that I can do,” he said. “Overall, I think I’ve been pretty solid. My game is even keel. I try to be solid, night in and night out, and I think that’s what I’ve done.”
The other aspect of Grossmann’s presence that is often overlooked is the mentoring role he fills for the Coyotes’ young blue line. Some players say it’s harder to be a mentor when you’re not in the lineup, but Grossmann sees no difference.
“I still talk and joke around with the boys,” he said. “Even though I can’t always show it on game days I try to lead by example in practice in everything from preparation to recovery and work ethic. I just keep pushing and keep being positive.”
Tippett has no idea how you measure that sort of impact other than observation and feel.
“He’s a phenomenal person and a great teammate,” Tippett said. “There are no issues there at all. He knows where he is in his career and he knows how the process goes but it never changes who he is.”

Nick Grossman doesn't really add to our defensive group any, and it's not like the Flames defensive players are in the World Cup, so I'm not sure what Grossman adds to the mix.
