As the calendar flips to September, the hockey world will eventually lurch into movement as training camps pick up soon enough. One part of the end of the off-season is when veterans try to latch onto NHL teams via the professional tryout (PTO). Teams can get a risk-free look to see if an older player has enough in the tank to help out. The player gets what often could be one last chance to latch onto an NHL roster. PTO season may have officially began in earnest on September 1st, with our old “friend” Jack Johnson and Colorado agreeing to a tryout.
