Player Discussion John-Jason (JJ) Peterka, RW (34th overall, 2020) -- Signed to ELC

I don't understand the want to move this kid. Swift skater with hands and a nice shot but all of the young player downfalls that are fixable. Let's just chill for a bit

I know we want a better two way game from him but a 16 goal increase from last year is impressive. Our only forward to actually improve their offensive numbers this year.

With a right coach I think the other stuff will come.

Towards theses last Hames he has gone deeper into his own zone and backchecked better also jjp-thonpson-tuch has looked like a great forechecking line

Pretty pretty good.

Pretty pretty good.

I love JJ's skills and am still shocked he didn't go in the first round, but goddamn son, a 2 on defensive retrievals?! Eff off with that noise and dig, boy!

His defensive impact us at a 55 already as well as his game matures that score card and stat line will look filthy.

That's the hope, at least

Thank you for paving the way for a Jeff Skinner buyout.

It would've needed to be for a bigger fish, but with Ruff enticed by Peterka Im in return enticed by what Ruff can turn Peterka into.

If Ruff can get JJ to buy into backchecking consistently and changes nothing else about his game, that’ll do wonders for his all-around impact.

I think he was getting beat up a little bit around here for lack of hustle but he's going to be a player when he puts it all together

E. @tsujimoto74 beat me to it lol
