Feel bad for Peluso. I thought in the games he played up in Calgary he did well - didn't make any mistakes, was strong on the forecheck, and wasn't a liability with either his play or with going overboard and costing the Flames a penalty. Hopefully his recovery goes well.
I actually can't think of anyone that may be available. Might have to wait until the trade deadline to see who drops out. I can see the Flames not going after anyone with Edmonton likely being out of it, and Anaheim being craptascular. Ferland makes even a bit more sense now. Maroon? Maybe someone like that over an all out-and-out pugilist.
Thorburn is a name I thought of as well, but looking him up shows me he has played 1 NHL game this season (which isn't surprising), but only 22 AHL games. Maybe he is also hurt? I didn't think he was that bad to not regularly play in the AHL, especially given that the AHL teams usually have these types of players in the line-up.
