Sharks re-sign D Matt Pelech

Squeeven · 07-16-2012, 04:30 PM

Thought this was worth posting, didn't see it anywhere else. Don't know anything about this guy, is he any good? Any chance of him getting called up next season?

210 and the other AHL guys will be thrilled. They love Pelech. Supposedly he has a shot at the #7 spot. Especially if Murray is moved.

Yeah, that huge cheer you heard was just about every WorSharks fan

I don't know if he's an everyday NHLer, but Pelech is certainly the kind of guy you want around in certain spots...

Guy is an absolute bad***. He throws around them AHLers like it aint no thang. He's been schooled in the art of the Douglas Murray death stare too!

I hope Pelech makes the team outta camp, want to see more Pelechshops!

He and Olli Jokinen should have a contest of who can stare into empty soulless eyes the longest.

Interesting to think about a comparison between Petrecki and Pelech. Both late first round picks that haven't made (Pelech being drafted a couple years earlier by Calgary). Both supposed to be bruising defensive defensemen. You wonder if Petrecki goes to another organization, does he end up developing to the level of finally being a 7th defenseman/first callup.

for what its worth I was quite impressed when I saw him play in the preseason...definitely stood out

Woo! Congrats Matt.

When I went back to Woo to see a game he was the best Dman on the ice.

now i see how those boyle rumors made sense!

Calgary gave up on him way too early. He has a huge upside and will be a banger for years to come. Congrats on the deal Matt!

Pelech's back?

Good thing too, as his options were running out after BK let him go

In honor of this momentous signing, I figured I should bring back my old avatar.

I'm so saving this thread to show him when he's back in Worcester... he enjoyed the Burger King one particularly so far.

But on a serious note, if he plays anything close to how he played toward the end of last season, I can't imagine him not getting some games in San Jose. He plays solid defense and is an absolute monster.
