I was high on Peca when he was with the Lightning. Do you see him slot in your lineup next season and if so, where?
He has next to zero chance to play in MTL next season. He already lost his spot when Weal and Thompson, both natural centres, were brought in and became regulars last season. Then after what Poehling showed in the final game of the season and the addition of Cousins who can play both C and W, there is no room for Peca at all. He has very good speed and some good puck skills but he is absolutely brutal defensively and that basically sealed the deal for him.
He was signed because prior to the last season the Habs had only one proven top 9 centre, they did not know if Domi would be a success in that position and that KK would be an NHL centre right away, so they needed some insurance at the position. He should hope that another team would pick him off waivers, otherwise it is Laval.
