Being that Pinizzotto saw limited time with the Oilers this past season, he may see limited time if he makes the team next season. While he is signed, there is no guarantee that he will actually make the roster.
There have been many times that a player signed with a team, then several weeks to months later, he was released. If he fails to make the roster, Pinizzotto may be headed back to the American Hockey League.
