History
2006-07: Peluso served as resident tough guy on the Erie Otters blue line. He checked, banged, and punched his way to 176 penalty minutes, a big increase over the previous year’s total. The big defenseman primarily played defense this season, a switch from his usual forward position.
2007-08: Peluso spent time at the blueline for two different OHL clubs this season, the Erie Otters and the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. In 21 games with Erie, he netted three goals and three assists, along with 41 PIM. After the trade, he recorded another 15 points (4g+11a) and another 83 minutes in the box. In 14 playoff games with the Greyhounds, he recorded another pair of goals and an assist.
2008-09: Signed first pro contract with the Blues in March of 2009.
Talent Analysis
Peluso relies on his size and toughness to provide his teams with an intimidating presence.
Future
His grinding game may be more suited to play at a forward position, therefore he will likely be on the wing.
