Pelech isn't needed for the Yotes.
I didn't see anything that Pelech did wrong before TM started going with 11 forwards. He was just slow and less than skilled. It screwed up the Pavs line. IMO, TM might want to be working with 12. Pelech got very short minutes. Going to Woostah as opposed to SF may indicate that they won't be bouncing Pelech so much.
That could explain it too. Also, McCarthy gets NHL pay either way according to capgeek. In terms of real payroll they are way up there because undoubtedly they aren't getting insurance money for Havlat or Torres.Rumor is they negotiated with Pelech and gave him his NHL salary while in SF so he would accept the assignment there the first time...I can't see SJ making a habit of that.

Last year, I noted that TM was balancing minutes a lot more than in the past. I will continue to look this year at the balance of minutes. Last night was unusual for TM as Hannan and Pelech fell far below the curve of what was normal last year.
Having 7 power plays would alter minutes..I noticed Hannan only played 12:27.
I don't know about anyone else but I was cracking up when I saw Pelech in the opening line up ceremony....he had this smug yet 'im going to kill you' look on his face.
I will always remember him for that, but yeh would rather have Burish out there than him.

He has that face about 99% of the time...the other 1% of the time he's actually killing someone.
I can't see why that would matter one way or the other...
Plattner has had statements going each way. Initially, free spending . . . then a little more prudent.
How has Hamilton gone from on the roster to behind Pelech and McCarthy in 3 days?
McCarthy sucks big time. Would love to see what Hamilton could bring vs this plug.
