Saw it mentioned in the rumours thread. Might as well have its own discussion.
One thing Upshall probably has going for him is that he and Brodziak were all but attached at the hip over the past 3 years in St. Louis. Both on the 4th line and as a PK duo.
A PTO doesn't mean he'll get a spot guaranteed though. Kelly didn't end up getting a contract last year after being on a PTO. And we probably all remember the Versteeg fiasco.
