Peake playing like a tank back there. Best under the radar trade at deadline.

This was always the possibility with Peeke. He'd shown promise previously. Just getting guys into the right role, structure, system, and situation on the depth chart can make a huge difference.

Multiple years of $2.75M was a risk a lot of teams wouldn't, or couldn't afford to take...if it went the other way. Which in a lot of situations, it very well might have.

Glad to hear he's playing well. Always liked him but simply couldn't put it all together in Columbus. I think he's more inclined as a bottom pair guy for PK and shutdown duties, especially in the playoffs. Blocks a ton of shots. I likened him to David Savard but Peeke is the better skater.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Too early to tell but he's been great so far! He's a better skater than Forbort and brings a similar game. I'll reserve judgement until I see him in the playoffs and a full season.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, I too think he's been pretty damn solid.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

He's thriving because he's playing in a system that suits him and coached to maximize his success. He got caught up in a philosophy shift (that has thus far failed) in Columbus. He was so promising when he broke in and guess what - his coach was John Tortorella.

Drawing conclusions based off 10 games is kind of counterintuitive to the point you’re trying to make. The risk is that you’re still paying him for 2 more years after this

The Bruins under Sweeney have had their misses, for sure. But they have generally been good at identifying role players they can maximize in a the role suited for them.

I mean yeah...the risk is still absolutely there...

It's just trending back in a positive direction again.

Wish Rangers went after him over Chad Ruwhateverhisnameis

Best move at the deadline.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Peeke turning into a solid top 4
Next year he will be that guy

Not saying he won’t be, but Mike Reilly had many people saying similar things after he was first brought in. I will be very happy if he can just be a very solid 5D.

Peeke reminds me of Adam McQuaid and it sent me down a weird rabbit hole.

So the i looked up McQuaid and found out that he was acquired by Boston from Columbus before he ever played for the Blue Jackets.

The 5th round pick in the 2007 draft that Columbus acquired from Boston for McQuaid was packaged with two additional 5th round picks to Dallas for a 2007 4th round pick where Columbus selected Maxim Mayorov (94th overall)

The 5th round pick from the Bruins that passed through Columbus finally ending in Dallas turned out to be Jamie Benn (129th Overall).

And there is always someone on the Bruins board who bring up Benn whenever the Bruins move some late round pick.

Although in 2015 whomever was the person that year making that point was right, as the Bruins 2015 5th ended up with the Wild who drafted Kaprizov.

So maybe Boston should never trade a 5th round pick again, lol.

Adam McQuaid was the PERFECT bottom pair d-man. Perfect.

Glad he’s doing well. No surprise, that team takes the best traits out of a player and enhances them.

Win/win

Certainly for a toolsy physical specimen like Peeke who isn't going to outsmart opponents out there, it's a great spot for him. The Bruins put players in well defined roles. Simplified, you could say. You do your job, I do mine. Meanwhile the Jackets ask them to do a bit of everything and they often fail at it.

Win/win

It's a win given the bad situation the Jackets were in with the player. To get a 3rd rounder there is great.

But in the big picture they really could use a shutdown RD. It's unfortunate Peeke didn't have the skills to play that role in the Jackets messy system.

You can find guys like Andrew Peeke anywhere.
