If Peca wants to play CHL hockey, then make him report to Kitchener or another OHL team as that is where his rights are held. If Peca wants to play in a perseved "easier league" for a small player to play in, as the article implys, then that says a lot about his heart. It also sends quite the message to the people in Tampa. Gee, here's a guy looking for an "easy way out", for a way to pads his stats to perhaps get a better entry level contract. IF, that is really the reason, why he wants to go the the QMJHL.
If all this is true, perhaps he's isn't the type of player we need here in Kitchener after all. And, if all this is true, he best get to the NCAA and get his education cause he's gonna need it. OR, perhaps after all this speculation, he should save face and get his ass into the O and prove a lot of people wrong.
Honestly, this article didn't do him any favours whatsoever.

My feelings exactly on all accounts!
If he wants to go to the Q maybe we can call him...Matthew "Tinman" Peca!
