With the picks of Puljujarvi and Benson, signing of Lucic and now a PTO for Versteeg gets me wondering what Mr. Caggiula is thinking about his chance of breaking the roster this season. Maybe regretting his decision?

That's the first thought that came to my head too. Dude got royally screwed...and serves him right!

Who wouldn't regret their decision after signing with the Oilers?

What's the point? I don't see a fit there.

When does a PTO ever become a top 6 player?  

He is there to play 3rd line and be a huge veteran presence. 

The Oilers made a lot of big changes this off season. 

A real winner who knows what it takes and be able to push these kids in the right direction will be huge for them.  

This might actually be the year the oilers get better.

If he was all those things you claim someone would have offered him an actual contract. My bet is he gets released an signs with a team desperate for offense.

 

The Oilers will likely get better, but this won't be the reason for it.

More like how often does a PTO turn into a contract with that team? It'll create competition in the Oilers camp, and if it doesn't work it showcases him for another team. He'll get the chance to play with some young and exciting players and maybe raise his stock.

Most likely the plan was to never have Caggiula make the NHL roster anyways.. Just a free prospect for the Oilers to groom him in Bakersfield before he makes the jump the following year. I doubt the plan was to have him on the team right away anyways because it's not old management anymore.
