If pelech were even a comparable defender to Hal Gill, that'd be something. But he's not. He is slow, inefficient, and not worth the organization's time any more. Even with the loss of Erixon, he's still what, tenth on the depth chart at best? For a first round pick, six years after he was drafted, that's a sign that NHL hockey is not in your future. If he were a 7th round pick, we would have cut him two years ago.

you must be the Green Lantern from HF as this is the same kind of crap he always spewed. Pelech is more than capable at the AHL level, its the NHL that is the concern and rightly so, and while the number of NHL contracts is important we still need to field a competitive AHL club and Pelech would help with that. His only deficiency from what I have seen is his skating and I think for the time being as an AHLer and maybe emergency recall for a couple games its worth holding onto him for another year
