Theo Peckham was thrown into the fire and forced to face top-level competition in 2010-2011. It was clear he wasn't ready for it. While he's become a fan favorite because of his physical play and ability to punch people in the face, he's a long way from being able to handle the toughs or even second toughs.

18 of 21 players were better without Theo Peckham. He's a third-pairing defenseman and asking more of him in the near future is a significant mistake.
