When hits and toughness come with a guy who can’t skate or make even the simple plays, and who really only engages with other teams’ knuckle chuckers it means nothing. What we have is a $6 million player who I think struggles to even make the lineup. A $6 million Peluso.

5M, but I do get what you are saying. I don't think anything that will be said in the off season is going to change anyone's mind. It won't be until we start playing game that this will be sorted. Is he a 6M Peluso or 2017 Lucic. Time will tell, but the answer will probably be in the middle somewhere. What gives me pause for optimism are his hit totals and advanced stats. He knows his role and will not be as big as a liability as Neal.
