I think a lot of people are so quick to look at the expansion draft and assume that's where we stand for next year... there's still an entire off-season to get through, and some great names in FA we can grab. Pitlick is a player with a lot of hustle, but it's not like he brings something unique to the team that we can't find elsewhere.
As a side note - I can't wait to get my hands on a jersey!
