Player Discussion Andrew Peeke

I love Peeke as posters here have disagreed with. I think he is right where his salary should be. But he doesn't have the physicality you would expect from a guy his size. He does his job with minimal mistakes. I would not be surprised to see him get better and extended. Just another awful opinion...lol

This is Brandon Carlo’s ice time over the last five games:

This is Andrew Peeke’s ice time over that same stretch:

I’m wondering how people feel about this and what we feel it could mean.

i'm not a huge carlo fan, but he's certainly helpful and good at what he does. with that being said, this team
is desperate to find goals and he has value to help get that guy. if they do deal carlo, they'd need to find another
RD because the organization is pretty thin there...and it's nice to see peeke doing well.

Carlo is pedestrian without Hampus. Bring him back and Carlo becomes better than average IMO. Peeke is feeling it now and probably a better play in crunch time than Carlo right now.

Yeah I was one that questioned the move. I still think they could have gone about it differently but it's working out ok. Keep grooming he and Lohrei together

Loved the Peeke move from day one. DS get shit on a bunch and rightfully so but he did well on this one.

It means to me, and really, sample size could be bigger, that Carlo is expendable and should be used to address a need through a trade. I don’t dislike Carlo at all, but if Peeke can fill his minutes, it should be on the table.

If Will Borgen can get you Kaapo Kakko, there's a deal out there for Carlo.

As a Carlo backer, I have always considered him taking more crap from fans then he should have, many fans just throw shit out there, oh he is soft, oh no offense, just ripping the guy and have no clue what they are talking about, and generally do not understand what his job is. I admit this has not been Carlos best year, and I have always been against trading him, but I would now listen to offers, if it would help this team. I must ask though, how do you replace, his contract, his age, and his talent as a shutdown d-man, and realize he is a quality d-man, trust me, it will not be easy.

I think it means, over the last 5 games, Peeke has been on the ice more often when the Bruins get hemmed into their own zone. Had that 3:50 shift a couple games ago. That's not by design.

That said, Peeke has done a good job in a very difficult situation with McAvoy out and no other RD to replace Charlie.

It means Peeke has moved past Carlo as the #2RD.

It means Carlo is expendable for the right return (which I think we all knew).

Carlo hasn't had a great year, with no consistent puck moving partner and taking that dirty hit against Dallas, he's been up and down. He's probably feeling the heat from fans and media too (who want the Bruins to be better and blame him and others in the core for the down season). Despite that, I still think he can be (and occasionally is) one of the best defensive D in the league. I can't think of many D that get buried with defensive assignments like he does. I think a re-set would do wonders for him mentally. I think teams would line up for his services and I would hope to get a return fitting a player with his history and experience.

How do the Bruins replace what he brings? Maybe they don't. Maybe it's time to build a more modern D, with guys who play a bit more two-way.

Carlo plays all the hard minutes and he has to be valued properly, but if the thesis around here is that they need to either carry the puck faster, move the puck faster, add more skill, etc, shouldn't you look at moving the guy who plays a ton of minutes who doesn't give you that? It would suck to lose him, but if it brings back a legit top 6, maybe even top line forward you do it.

They created that possibility when they got Peeke. With McAvoy, Lindholm, Zadorov, and Peeke in your top 4 and Lohrei on the bottom pair they can fill that hole.
