As my Dad used to say when frustrated by a player who took forever to get to a loose puck or to take his man, Peluso is ponderously slow. He literally looks like he has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other before doing it. He does not belong on an NHL roster, and the Flames would be much better served with Mangiapane in that spot.
Having said that, I think Peluso was brought in for the Anaheim game as a bit of insurance against the Ducks trying any funny stuff on Gaudreau. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, it didn't work.
