That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Sounds like the username Mike Peca went with during one of our handle-tweaking phases. Still the best arena sign ever: “Mike Peca is bigger than your Peca.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Extrapolating a career from one practice session is, well, unbelievably foolish. Wouldn’t it be great, though, if Pekar becomes the next Peca? The tweets and articles all point to skill applied with an edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Interview with Pekar. I love it. When asked about the physicality with Dahlin, there was a twinkle in his eye, which reminds me of a trait in some of the best pests in the NHL comparing them to wrestling a pig: "You both get muddy, but the pig likes it."

I met a pot belly pig today while getting ice cream. A couple was walking it through town just like a dog. It joyfully gobbled up some sprinkles from the sidewalk.

Eleven Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I saw something this morning about Pekar returning to USHL Muskegon rather than proceeding to NCAA Miami for the season as originally planned. Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris BakerVerified account @SabresProspects 2m2 minutes ago More I think the plan would be to still attend Miami. Likely tied to rumors of him not being eligible until second semester.

Derrico Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I don't see why he wouldn't be eligible. Mittlestadt was committed last season and he attended training camp no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things seem to pop up from time to time with the european imports. If it is in fact the case, I'll give the kid credit for sticking with Miami instead of just jumping to UCONN instead. And before anyone asks, I mention UCONN because they took on a couple guys a few years ago after they couldn't meet other school's admission standards. 5 minutes ago, Derrico said: I don't see why he wouldn't be eligible. Mittlestadt was committed last season and he attended training camp no? I'd suspect there's either a slight language barrier or that school stuff from europe may have not transferred over to US standards as well as they hoped. Think of it like a credit issue with colleges. Edit: Ahh, crap, you're talking about participation in camp. The college guys are free to participate in those all they want. They just can't sign.

Ripper Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 What are the rules which apply to bringing him up for regular season games with the Sabres. If I read correctly, he is too young to play full time for the Amerks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 With all those UFA contracts due up next season, I strongly suspect this kid will be in the wave of "replacements" that will be on the Sabres roster next season.

He has to complete his CHL eligibility before he can be assigned to an AHL team. But he was in the USHL when drafted and only went to the OHL after that. Was he even drafted in the OHL or is he considered a Euro player “on loan” to the OHL? Those guys, like Nylander for example, don’t need to complete their OHL eligibility before going to the AHL. Its possible that I’m wrong, but I was always under the impression that Pekar could go to the AHL at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
