I thought Pelletier looked good in a 4th line role at the NHL whenever I saw him there. He provides a lot of energy, was a bit snake bitten, and some unlucky goals/breakdowns happened. That's exactly why we should see a lot more of him at the NHL, so we can figure out what he really is.

The regression in the AHL, was a bit concerning, but coming back after such a long time off will mess with your game. Moreover, we don't know how close he was to 100%, because some injuries take more than 1 year to fully heal.

I expect Plletier to have a career similar to P. Byron at least in terms of checking and puck pursuit. We'll see what type of offense Pelletier brings at the NHL level, but I don't expect breakaways to be his bread and butter.
