Good for CLB and Peeke. Fair signing for a solid stay at home D. Got the same contract as Jan Rutta and Ilya Lyubushkin.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Only because Laine compared him to McDavid?

Seems that this signing didn't Peeke the interest of the general public.

A lot of other teams like Vancouver were hoping to trade for Andrew and then pair him with an offensive d-man. I think folks are still a bit angry/disappointed that no trade happened, and it may take a couple days to get over it.

 

[Eggtimer]

I really like his game. Good signing for sure. He is one of the better Defensive D in the league and will probably only get better.

That looks like an overpay to me, but I trust Jarmo more than my own eye.

 

[Byrral]

I think this is an overpay but I always think Jarmo spends a bit more overall on player salaries. Peeke also may be partnering again with Werenski on the first pair so maybe it is a fair contract.

This thread has also reached it's Peeke as nobody seems very interested in this signing.

This feels slightly high right now based on track record so far but not by much. It’s a low enough total that it’s fairly low risk, and could end up being a great bargain by the end of year 4. Also of note is that he’s making just $787,500 this year and looks like he’s getting first crack at playing next to Werenski. Management has clearly been impressed by his growth over the last year and this summer.

Peeke a Blue!

Never mind. My toddler is corrupting my humour.

Shut your dirty mouth.

Good signing

Honestly I had to learn myself exactly who this guy is. Can he become a Tanev type?

Andrew Peeke is a Tanev type. Just not as good with passing.

But like Tanev he is fast and shuts things down quickly.

Actually more physical - very strong hitter, you'd think he was 230 lbs not 210, and he's one of those D that just knows how to get in the way and block everything, like a second goalie when he's around the net.

Unfortunately there is a big gap between his play without the puck (stellar) and his play with it (well below average). The contract seems fair.

Hes 210 now, going into last year he was only listed at 196. The added weight should serve him well.

I think he learned pretty well being around Savard and smartly followed the advice of coaches. He clearly saw that as a path to follow and role to fill on a defense begging for that style of player and did pretty well under the circumstances

Canucks could ah w drafted him in 2016 but they dealt their 2nd round pick to acquire gudbranson.

honestly I have no clue I havent seen him play much in real life but from a fantasy perspective he looks like he's trending to be one hell of a Dman
only 24 years old put up 15 points in his first full season although he was a -14 I assume that has more to do with CBJ as a team.
hit 191 times and blocked 169 shots. played more mins than Tanev on the PK so he must be relied on a little.
I think he projects to be a nice top 4 Dman
I like him

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

The contract will look like a steal when he reaches his Peake...

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

This dude is pretty damn good.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Peake prosperity...

Hitting and blocking a ton isn't necessarily a good thing outside of fantasy hockey. See:Kris Russell. Could mean his team never has possession of the puck when he's on the ice but thats probably not the case here with the high praise he's getting here.
