A good pick-up by the Winnipeg Jets claiming Anthony Peluso on waivers. Peluso is a 4th line banger like Nolan/King ready to make the jump
Well this is encouraging at least.

Since everyone agrees this doesn't really make sense for our team, perhaps a trade is in the works.

Please tell me I'm reading this wrong. You're not saying that we're supposed to play this guy 10 minutes per game, are you?
There was some talk (probably nonsense rumours) last year that the Habs wanted Thorburn.
Thorbs for PK Subban! Make it happen!
What if the Jets did PK for Bogo and Thorbs? Would people be mad?
Well this is encouraging at least.
If we needed warm bodies in case of injuries, surely we could have done better than this guy.
These are just some of the forwards who were waived in the last few days:
Patrick Maroon
Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblonde
Marc-Andre Cliche
Stefan Legein
Zach Hamill
Matt Clackson
Michael Haley
TJ Hensick
Brett Sonne
And yet we chose to claim ANTHONY PELUSO?
Yes. Bogosian is a full year younger than Subban and imo a better player.
Can you trade a player you've claimed on waivers?
Thorburn: 29 years old, $866,667, UFA 2014-15
Peluso: 23 years old, $605,000, RFA 2013-14
If they are suppose to have the same roll, Peluso comes cheaper and is a lot younger.
We will see when the Jets give an interview.
I know Thorburn probably isn't in the long term plans, but I really like him. I think he's also one of the most well liked Jets in the locker room. Burmistrov said Thorburn really helped cheer him up and feel comfortable when he went through his slump last summer, he and Kane have been playfully chirping one another on Twitter recently and even Ladd made fun of him last year in one of the Cabbie specials.
I'd hate to lose him, even if it saves the team a little bit of money.
even then, its only a "good" move if you assume we're shipping out thorburn. which leaves me with who trades for thorburn?
Nodl's on waivers, being blown up by bogo aside, he's a capable depth twf, why not grab him (very mittens esq actually, Two way forward but not necessarily "grindy")
Going by that above tweet, it appears Peluso isn't signed to play with the Ice Caps.
Confusing. We seemed to have just signed a player off waivers for a role in which is already filled by Thorburn.
Ladd, Little, Wheeler, Kane, Jokinen, Wellwood, Antropov, Ponikarovsky, Burmistrov, Slater, Thorburn, Machacek, Scheifele, Peluso with an injured Miettinen to begin the year.
Too many? .. a bit confused. Don't see the point or need for Peluso with our roster as it stands right now, and why not call up one of our own young guys if we need a warm body? Unless there is an injury we don't yet know about, or a trade for a defenceman in which we're dealing a forward. Doubt it though.
Thorburn could be the throw in on a bigger trade. I doubt PK is coming here...especially for the money he's probably expecting.
There's something else afoot here. Mark my words.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind acquiring David Booth for some depth pieces after his off year and injuries. Just a thought.
Peluso is a good enforcer and can play on the 4line without looking out of place. Its probably the best hockey player enforcer in the ahl (if that make sens). Can easy become a Thornton clone if you developpe him correcly.
Sorry for the errors, i'm french..........
Booth has been injured more than being healthy , can't see WPG. offering what Vancouver would need to make that trade.
