Those teams had an opportunity for free this week, but decided against it.
Yup. But look at who they have and then look at who else cleared waivers this week. It is the same thing every year. Teams are busy trying to cut down. They aren't particularly interested in adding at this time. Look at some of the Dmen who we passed on.
There is a groupthink among coaches and GM's, just like there is here. I don't think anyone is going to give Petan much of a chance now. He has burnt his last bridge. He will collect his NHL salary for the next 2 years and then go elsewhere. Maybe he will win the KHL scoring title some day and people will wonder why he never made it in the NHL. The answer will be a combination of coaching and his attitude/work ethic.
