Peterka was the go to guy in the playoffs last year.
It took Him until November or December until He became comfortable at the AHL Level and once He did, He was one of the dominant players on the ice, particularly when Quinn was hurt. Peca and Appert both raved about how He became an all around player.
Much like it took Him time to adjust to the AHL, it can be expected His adjustment period to the NHL a will be similar.
Adams mentioned that they will look at a players body of work when deciding between Buffalo or Rochester.
Peterka’s Body of Work should qualify Him to start in Buffalo, if He is still struggling after 15 games, then send Him down.
