It seems doubtful that the Flames will forego signing any PTOs for 2018 training camp. 23 teams had players on PTO deals in their training camps in 2017; Anaheim, Boston, Carolina Nashville, Philadelphia, SJ, TB, Toronto invited none. Especially because of the overseas exhibition games this seems like a virtual certainty for Calgary: last season Vancouver had Scotty Upshall and Ryan White on PTOs, while LA invited 11(!) players.
I don't see how this is especially telling of anything.
