no team even plucked him off waivers...future NHL'er don't spend 5+ years in the minors...at least guys that are top 4 d or top 6 forwards.
But he's only on his 4th year from what I can tell. [/nitpicking]

True, I don't think Pelech's ceiling isn't as high as others seem to imply it is (I still see the occasional claim of him being Regehr 2.0), but he's certainly going to be a decent 5/6 D, closer to the Cory Sarich mold with a bit less offense and more of a goon mentality.
