Panthers sign tough guy Andrew Peters

August 20, 2010   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

Yesterday the Florida Panthers signed tough guy Andrew Peters to a one-year two-way contract. Last season Peters played with the New Jersey Devils and appeared in only 29 games and accumulating 93 PIMs. The Panthers needed to get a tough guy because Steve MacIntyre signed with the Edmonton Oilers in July.

Peters, 30, has appeared in 229 NHL games with Buffalo (2003-09) and New Jersey (09-10), registering seven points (4-3-7) with 650 PIM. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound winger paced New Jersey with 93 PIM last season. Peters recorded a career high 151 PIM with the Sabres during the 2003-04 campaign and led the American Hockey League with 388 PIM during the 2001-02 season.

“With the addition of Andrew, we immediately add a physical presence to our line-up,” said Tallon. “He brings an aggressive style of play and a dimension that our team needed to address this offseason. We look forward to his contributions to our club.”

Well I’m hoping Peters gets a chance to stay with the NHL club throughout the season and play. Hopefully they don’t do to him what they did to MacIntyre last season which was bring him up and down throughout the season. Here’s one of Peters fights from last season.
