Peckham Sent Down

Found November 03, 2009 on Lowetide:
PLAYERS: Theo Peckham,  Taylor Chorney,  Alex Plante
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers

Word tonight that the Edmonton Oilers have sent out Theo Peckham. He'll join the Springfield Falcons and won't make the trip west with the big club. Peckham didn't play well during this callup, owing to a pre-season injury and no training camp. Not to overstate the issue, but the Oilers have a tremendous number of young defensemen coming through the system and this would have been a very good time for Peckham to establish himself at the NHL level.That slot has been earned by Taylor Chorney this fall, so that next training camp he'll have established himself with this team and this coach. Jeff Petry will turn pro, Alex Plante and Johan Motin will have one year's experience at the pro level, and Pat Quinn will still be waiting to see Theo Peckham at his best.I don't think this season's first two months will heavily impact Peckham's career, but it gives us another example of how much injury impacts these young prospects and especially young defenders.

The Importance of (Robert) Being Earnest

Robert Nilsson is in danger of taking a (called) strike two in his major league career.

Most of us can relate at some level. As someone whose reports cards often contained the...

The Weighting is the Hardest Part

The worst team in Oilers history was probably the 1992-93 team. They lost 50 games, traded away half the team and were so bad the draft gave them Jason Arnott the following summer.That season was a mess at center ice. Bernie Nicholls was traded during the year, as was Brent Gilchrist and Josef Beranek. And those were only the centers! Among the other players sent away that winter...
