He's another who has been a consistently solid player by the possession metrics despite some difficult seasons offensively.

Nothing wrong with having a low cost option in case some of the kids aren't ready for the jump. Booth at least has NHL experience, if he turns out like another Raymond it's a good move. Worst case he's in and out of the lineup as an extra forward -- if that's the case then hopefully it means some young guys are ready to step into that role.

mirtle: Booth contract is $1.1-million. So no risk.
For that kind of money, absolutely worth taking a shot.

Interesting. I figured they'd be set at forward. Tons of options now in the bottom-6. And yeah, there's really no way they can keep Orr even on the roster at this point.
Going with a 23 man roster and splitting $6.6M between Gardiner and Reimer...leaves us with just $420K in cap space.

As much as I think Ashton hasn't been given a fair NHL shake, I don't think he absolutely deserves a spot either. I'm ok if he is the 13th forward at this point. You can maybe justify Orr as the 14th guy but personally if turf him. He's unlikely to be claimed on waivers unless Burke wants him
Keeping Bodie up and moving Orr down would save a bit more space.

I think they plan to send Orr right down to the Marlies and leave him there, barring catastrophic injuries. Booth might be that top 6 winger we need, to let Clarkson play the 3rd line role.
Either way, no risk signing. It wasn't that long ago when he was an untouchable in Florida, he has lots of talent.
