It's slightly above league minimum for a tough kid with a bit of hockey-playing ability. How is it a waste of money? The whole team can't be superstars. He's a good 13th forward when we need a shot of toughness.

Volpatti is a great depth forward. His willingness to thrown down in sorely lacking.

Fourth Line Options

Volpatti - Ebbett - Bitz

Volpatti - Ebbett - Kassian

or after a couple of UFA signings

Volpatti - Burish - Parros

That's a menacing fourth line
