Leafs acquire Peluso at deadline

March 3, 2010 –Adam Steevens

The NHL trade deadline has come and gone without any huge deals, but Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke has made yet another solid move, snagging Penguins prospect Chris Peluso in exchange for a 6th round pick in the 2010 draft.

“The Maple Leafs and Penguins have completed their second trade in as many days asToronto has sent a sixth round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry draft for defenceman Chris Peluso.

The 23-year old Peluso is playing at Bemidji State and was originally selected in the seventh round, 194th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry draft.” {TSN.ca}

The 23-year old defenseman has seven assists and a plus-4 rating in 24 games with Bemidji State. Peluso was originally drafted by the Penguins in the seventh round. The Leafs are banking on Peluso developing into a solid NHL defenseman, and his offensive, puck-moving style could be a serious asset for Toronto in the future.

Peluso is too small, slow and has poor hands. Wow, what a combo! He will never play a game in the NHL. He’s not good enough to play in the AHL.
