History
OHL career: Played for the Owen Sound Attack and quickly established himself as one of the toughest blueliners in the league. Posted over 200 PIM in both of his first two years and then amassed 35 points in his third and final season. Signed by Edmonton in the off season.
2007-08: Played 59 games with Springfield and made a near-seamless transition to the pro-game. Also made a one-game appearance in the NHL which was highlighted by a monster open ice hit on Columbus forward Jarred Boll.
Talent Analysis
Size-wise, Peckham is NHL-ready today, but he needs to work on his skating, speed, and transition game. He’s not going to be an offensive star, but he has the potential to be a prototype for the new model of enforcers – the ones that can drop the gloves when needed, but won’t hurt their team when they’re on the ice.
The rugged rearguard can be counted on not to try to do too much. He knows his limitations and isn’t going to try to be something he’s not capable of. He’s smart with the first pass and won’t pinch in unless there’s a clear opportunity with limited risk. Character and leadership is an strong asset.
