Yep.
Was a likeable, but poor on-ice pick at the time. I remember Tree talking about how Pelletier said “you pick me because I’m a player you win a Stanley cup with”…but what skillset does this player actually have that helps a team on the ice?
…again, about the same as Kevin Rooney, which is to say pretty much nothing.
Pelletier has been passed on the depth chart by a lot of players, and they’re not elite prospects passing him either. He’s just not a standout.
