Peluso signs (2 years, AAV $675,000)

Confirmed via the Jets app

 

[jamiebez]

Mine too!

That's why we both posted threads, I guess

Mods, you can turf mine

 

[sipowicz]

WHY? Really don't think the guy has shown anything the least of which is the ability to play in the NHL!

 

[Joe Hallenback]

For a tough guy he is pretty good. Press box fodder and for when we need to play teams like the Blues. Hes cheap and makes the other guys feel good don't see a problem with it

 

[pegjets]

I don't understand this one, but low contract value and little risk so it doesn't actually bother me.

Is it a one way deal?

 

[CorgisPer60]

Wouldn't surprise me. It's not as if it counts toward the cap if he's sent down, anyways.

 

[surixon]

Is this really necessary, I get wanting pb filler but the guy can't play!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

****ing hell.

They won't pay a guy 645K to play 4th line in the AHL (where he would slot in). So they'll keep trying to justify this at the NHL level. More goals against! Huzzah!

Just like they paid Budaj to play in the NHL and back up Pavelec instead of backing up Hellebuyck in the AHL, right?

I'm am ok with this,Maurice will be running a 3 line system for regular season and will add talent or younger players to the 4th line come end of the season and playoff time.

According to Lawless it's 1 way. Guys like Peluso are quite likely to be claimed on waivers.

@garylawless: Anthony Peluso re-ups with #nhljets - two-year, one-way deal with aav of $675 k #nhl

 

[Zhamnov10]

With the young guys we have that can go easily back and forth from the AHL we can afford to have an extra forward.I think the plan hopefully is to have either peluso or Thorburn in the line up but not both.This will be peluso's last chance to become an NHL regular in the Ryan Reeves mold.

 

[cbcwpg]

$675,000 per goal based on last season average ice time of 5:52 per game when actually dressed.

Pretty good deal for Peluso.

 

[ps241]

Oh well

We don't need Thor and Peluso? This makes me think we are "STILL" not taking a good 4th line seriously? I hope I am wrong but they are releasing Jurassic Park in the theatres this summer so sticking with the theme it makes sense we sign a relic from days gone by.

Trying to remember who the fighters were on Tampa Bay and Chicago?

Fair point. We'll see.

AHL (at best) calibre forwards are not generally claimed on waivers. Occasionally a team takes a chance on an unproven guy here and there. Proven failures not so much.

Sure and then if we are lucky enough to make the playoffs again we can watch our over worked MASH unit get swept again. Without being too dramatic I would prefer we construct a real 4th line than can push the play and eat quality minutes like the Ducks 4th line did. Honestly I think we might have the guys to do it in our system now but it is tough when we have two knuckle draggers on one way deals.

If this guys a project he's a real slow learner and here the Jets management had me believing they were finally on the right track and they go and re-sign a guy who would have trouble playing in the AHL.

I wasn't talking about his hockey skills. Heavyweight fighters are claimed quite often. More than they should.

 

[EpicGingy]

Don't worry everyone. This just means we can get rid of Thorburn and Peluso the same year now for twice the celebration!

There's no way they'll get another contract!

I feel like I've heard that before...

Well, Chicago does have noted dirtbag Dan Carcillo. Tampa is pretty fighter free, though. It was mentioned before that Maurice loves rolling 3 lines while hiding his specialists (faceoff, PK, pugalist) on the 4th to take the odd shift so the other lines could rest up.

I love PMo but I wish he would embrace the value of a strong minute munching 4th line. If for nothing else it keeps more tread on the tire over the 82 game grind. I am ok with either Thor or Tony under contract but we REALLY don't need both.
