When he was 20 years old, Theo Peckham played the most difficult competition available. Jonathan Willis calculated Springfield's quality of competition for the 2008-2009 season and Theo Peckham led the way with a 2.114 rating. Not only was Peckham facing the toughest competition, he was heavily relied upon for the Falcons' penalty kill.

During his time in Manchester this season, Colten Teubert played on the third pairing and as demonstrated by Tyler Dellow, played the fewest short-handed minutes of any Monarchs' defender.

I'd love to see Teubert turn into a long-time NHL defender, but management believes Teubert is only a 5th defenseman at the next level.  It's worth recognizing Colten Teubert is well behind Theo Peckham's development curve.
