I forgot to mention this before...
The bluejackets have put Peca on injured reserve list...He missed all pre-season game due to groin strain...http://bluejackets.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=338932
Chris says:

Peca a Blue Jacket
Chris Says:
Our loss is Columbus' gain.
Peca signed a one year deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. I know the Leafs were trying to massage some numbers to bring him back into the fold but for whatever reason that fell through.
No word on his salary yet.
I would have liked to have seen what the man could have accomplished had his season not been cut short in such a drastic fashion.
Steve says:
I'm on the fence. One side says that he was great on the p/k so it would be nice to have that, but I also know that out goal tending is better now...so that difference maybe negligible.
Also, he might be a Lindros in disguise...and I want no part of that.
The Rangers had him take a physical, and they passed, which tells me something is up.
Plus he's going to Columbus, who really don't have a shot which tells me that of the 3 teams he was speaking with, Columbus was the last of the bunch who would take a chance.
Good luck Mike...hope it doesn't bite us on the ass later in the year!

Peca: Take 2
Chris Says:
The Peca rumours just won't die. Apparently JFJ has made more than one phone call to Peca expressing the Leafes interest in having him back. Again, the problem being that the Leaf cap space is negligible right now and that the team would have to move\trade some bodies in order to free up the cash. First up on the chopping block? Stajan.
There' s no point in trying to figure out what's going to happen here. We're not the only team in the hunt for this guy so our (in)ability to tender a competitive offer may be moot if another team (Rangers) is able to plunk down the right amount of cash. Things can change in an instant and we're all outsiders trying to peer behind the curtain.
Peca's feisty and great on the penality kill but I don't think it makes sense to get rid of Stajan just to keep him around. It smacks of trading developing talent for established age and that's a sucker's bet the Leafs keep falling for year after year.

Peca back?
Chris says:
Prescient comment Steveo. Apparently the Leafs are kicking Peca's tires.
Would Peca be a good fit for the Leafers? If the price is right. I never felt like I got a great opp to evaluate Peca as a player. When he took that hit last year I knew he'd be out for awhile. (Althougth I never figured on the rest of the season)
Bottom line. If you look at the Leafs roster as it stands now there's not a lot of money to go chasing after Pec without moving around some other people. I'd be interested in bringing him back, but it all depends on his price tag.
