That was the Oiler's 4th game, Whitney didn't return until the 5th game, and from the 4th game onwards Peckham hasn't played a single minute in an Oilers uniform. Potter replaced Peckham, not Whitney.

Also, when Peckham plays he is shit...The h2h numbers might look nice, but anyone who watches hockey could tell you that Peckham is a borderline NHL defenceman. He is slow, plays poor positionally, and handles the puck like a grenade. When you are benched for 5 games on the leagues worst defence core (by far), and fail to make it back in despite injuries to the best blueliner in that core (Ryan Whitney) something is seriously wrong...

They are 2 way Dmen.. and Cam Barker's been pretty meh in Edmonton so far.

Also, Peckham's the youngest blue liner in Edmonton and Oilers fans seem to like this kid quite a bit. He is far from shit but you are entitled to your opinion. Theo Peckham is a quality defensive defenseman/tough guy who is just having a bad stretch. He came in to camp a little out of shape and has found himself the odd man out recently.. that is all. As for calling him a beast, when he's in the lineup, his h2h numbers are beautiful. I definitely wouldn't trade Peckham for Potter, that's for sure

You started out by claiming that Theo Peckham wasn't benched when Whitney was in the lineup, I disproved that quickly, and you changed your argument to state that he is out of the lineup because Edmonton has too many defensive defeceman, namely Barker and Gilbert, I disproved that, and now you are backtracking and calling them two way defenceman? This is laughable...

FTR, Cam Barker is principally a PP defenceman, his value outside of his shot is next to none. Defensively, he might be one of the worst defenceman in the NHL, the fact that Peckham can't beat him for a spot in the lineup is sad, so to is the fact that a defensive defenceman like Peckham hasn't started on the blueline that has given up the most GA in the NHL...

Furthermore, Peckham is not well liked by an Oilers fan, they were calling for his head long before he was benched...I dare you to challenge me on that point.

Finally, I will end by stating that I would NEVER trade Corey Potter for Theo Peckham. He is playing top minutes on that blueline in all situations, and doing it well, Theo Peckham can't even make the roster when everyone is healthy.

What? I said Peckham was outplayed by Potter before Whitney drew back in the lineup and therefore was kept on instead of Peckham. Of course Peckham was benched when Whitney was in the lineup.. show me where I said otherwise. I stated Potter was Whitney's replacement and just won the spot. And Peckham is out of the lineup because Edmonton has too many defensive Dmen and Andy Sutton is the local tough guy (for now). I have no idea what you're talking about..

Most GA in the NHL? Edmonton's given up 14 goals the last I saw.. which is actually one of the best GA in the NHL (2nd best/tied with WSH). As for Cam Barker.. I disagree with him being that bad defensively but that's another debate all together. Have you ever heard the saying "if it aint broke, don't fix it?" I think that's why Peckham's out of the lineup.. he just isn't playing well. We'll see what's good the next Oilers game. It really is only a matter of time until Peckham's back in the regular 6 in Edmonton. Potter and/or Sutton will come back down to earth and Barker has been making some bonehead plays as of late too.

As for Oilers fans opinions on Peckham --> http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=1012505 Some fairly encouraging stuff there. Peckham has just been playing badly this season.. last season he was very good. Please show me where fans are calling for his head

I'm not dodging this argument, but I sustained a serious concussion today and can't really think or concentrate like I normally can, when I feel better I will respond to this. In the meantime, I'm going to put it on hold.
