7th year center Matthew Peca(63) signs a new 1-year, 2-way deal with St. Louis Blues for 2021/2022 after coming off one season for Ottawa Senators, which saw him play in 5 games with one assist.

Originally a Tampa Bay Lightning 7th round pick in the 2011 draft (#201 overall), the twice 10+ goals and 2-time 20+ assist Quinnipiac University Bobcats‘ player has skated 78 NHL games.

The small 5’9″ 165 lbs. forward is likely to start with new affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds, but could easily score some more looks in the show for the 28-year old.

After putting up some decent stats for the farm club, the Petawawa, ON native scores a recall to his new team and has an additional assist (6-15) in now 81 games.

Coming off his former deal, which saw him re-sign for 2-years, but receive no further looks despite posting some continued impressive AHL numbers.

For his next step he signs a 2-year minor league deal to stay in western Massachusetts.

The 3-year captain of his current club gets himself a trade for a new beginning to Syracuse Crunch at the deadline.

Montreal Canadiens‘ 1st round pick in the 2017 draft (#25 overall), 3rd year center Ryan Poehling(25) re-ups for another 2 years with the 2nd year being on one-way terms.

The 6’2″ 204 lbs. power forward played a first big league game after agreeing to his 2-year entry level deal following a third year at State Cloud State University Huskies.

In that game he pulled off the rare feat of scoring an NHL hat trick in his debut.

Not bad for 11:22 of playing time.

He was very close to being a point-per-game guy last season with affiliate Laval Rocket (11-14-25) with a +5  in 28 AHL games.

The Lakeville, MN native was on a fast track through high school, then signing for his only time in junior hockey, 9 USHL games with Lincoln Stars (2 goals, 2 assists) before heading straight to school for a freshman campaign.

It seems if the 22-year old is given his shot to prove he can play, he could very well become a 20-goal scorer before too long.

He was traded during the offseason before the start of this 3rd year to Pittsburgh Penguins, where he played 53 games, registering 7 goals and 7 assists, but was left unqualified from his contract with the former club, so became an unrestricted free agent.

For 2023/2024, he signs a 1-year deal with Philadelphia Flyers for $1.4M AAV.

He has his best scoring season with 12 goals and 19 assists and is still under contract, but gets dished to Anaheim Ducks in a huge deal that should see him continue to put up career numbers with his new club, but he will need a contract.

In 56 games, he scores 7 goals and 18 assists with a +7 rating and they are liking what they see to sign him up to a 4-year extension through 2029/2030 to stay a Ducks.

8th year left wing Warren Foegele(37) takes a career year scoring 20 goals and 21 assists in a full slate of 82 games with a +3 rating for 3rd year team, Edmonton Oilers to a brand new 3-year contract, worth $3.5AAV with Los Angeles Kings.

For 6 NHL seasons, he always had 10+ goals and 5 times the same marker for assists.

From Markham, ON, he did 2 years at St. Andrew’s College Saints before heading off to University Of New Hampshire Wildcats.

He would split after a full season and 5 games to play OHL, where Carolina Hurricanes‘ 3rd round pick in the 2014 draft (#67 overall) would light up the scoresheet.

The 28-year old has arrived for himself at the right time.

He seems to be under-performing in his 2nd frame with the team, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists in 47 games is way off the mark, so he gets dealt with his contract to Ottawa Senators, who hope to revive what couldn’t be found in CA.
