A: Negative. A Professional Try-Out Contract, or PTO, has a duration of up to 20 games... granted, that's a quarter of the season, but nonetheless, that's the deal with a PTO. Obviously we'd love to have Sasha back with us, but this may be a great opportunity for him to showcase his skills and prove he deserves to be there.

At press time, Mr. Pokulok has five assists in seven games, so he's definitely making a showing offensively.
