You’d Think A Team Could Use Peca

from Jim Kelley of Sportsnet,
Sources tell me that Peca had a chat with Sabres GM Darcy Regier and that would be a good fit given that he’s put down roots in Western New York what with a home and having his kids in school there, but Buffalo’s roster appears set at least for now. There were rumors that a team in the West had some interest but it was simply too far away. The Philadelphia Flyers were rumored to be interested but they have cap issues. Toronto is close by and the GTA is where Peca was born, but the Leafs haven’t revisited and even if they did it’s not exactly a Cup contending team.
As a result his options are limited, but that’s not as big a problem as you might think.
“I don’t think I’d be comfortable with the decision of having it be over,” he said. “Right now things are different, but I think it would be difficult to concede that this is the end. I still think there’s a fit out there somewhere.”

I wonder if the western team that had interest was the Canucks, Peca would have made more sense than signing Pettinger.

He could always follow the lead of other NHLers that can’t get a gig and sign with the Flint Generals of the IHL. They’re already well over the league’s “hard” (*rolleyes*) cap anyways with Rheaume, Tuzzolino, JF Labbe, and now Brian Smolinski. Why not add Peca to it?
