I completely disagree.
You really couldn't ask for much more from a depth signing than what you would get with Prospal. He slots in almost anywhere in the lineup, and would come very cheap. Furthermore, he is a better player than most of our forwards. Why let him go when it's peanuts to keep him? It makes no sense.
People are assuming that certain players are ready to make the jump to the NHL, when they really may not be. There's no problem with letting guys like Hagelin and MZA start the year in CT and be injury callups if they can't win a roster spot out of camp. There will always be injuries during the season, and everyone's concerns about youngsters being blocked don't often come to fruition. Bottom line is that Prospal is a no-brainer IMO, if the price is right of course.
