Profile Contributed By: Kyle McMahon

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.

Talent Analysis

Peluso doesn't possess dazzling individual skills; rather, he relies on his size and toughness to provide his teams with an intimidating presence.

Future

St. Louis feels that Peluso's grinding game is more suited to play at a forward position, therefore he will likely be on the wing by the time he turns pro, if not sooner. He will return to the OHL for 2007-08.
