Darren Dreger tweeted late Sunday night that former fourth-liner Daniel Paille will be headed to Blackhawks camp on a PTO. The team recently traded away Joakim Lindstrom and apparently there's hope he might be able to fill that role.
Whatever the case, the important take-away here is really this: how do Shawn Thornton and Gregory Campbell have honest-to-goodness NHL contracts, while Paille, whose penalty killing skills and speed are arguably more valuable to a team than anything Campbell or Thornton could contribute, can only manage a PTO?
The world may never know.
