Peca agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with St. Louis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Peca last played in the NHL back in 2021-22 with the Blues, logging five games for the club that year in which he notched one assist, three shots and three hits. At best, Peca could land a two-way deal that will allow him to be periodically called up from the minors.

Peca was waived by the Blues on Thursday, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peca has already been playing for AHL Springfield over the past two weeks, picking up five helpers through six appearances, so he'll simply stick with St. Louis' minor-league affiliate in the likely event he passes through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old forward picked up one assist through five games with the Blues last season.

Peca signed a two-year, $1.525 million contract with the Blues on Wednesday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal is a two-way contract for Peca, who has one assist in five appearances at the NHL level. The 28-year-old has mainly player with AHL Springfield and will likely continue to unless the Blues need reinforcements at forward.

Peca was sent down to AHL Springfield on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Peca notched one assist, three shots and three hits in his previous five contests in which he averaged just 9:38 of ice time. With the Blues off until Dec. 27 versus the Devils, the decision to move the 28-year-old Peca to the minors is likely more of a cap-saving measure.

Peca was recalled from AHL Springfield on an emergency basis Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues are dealing with several injured skaters, so there's a chance that Peca could make his NHL season debut Saturday against Montreal. The 28-year-old has 10 goals and 17 points in 19 AHL games. He recorded an assist in five NHL appearances with Ottawa last season.

Peca was waived by St. Louis on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peca drew into five games with the Senators last season, picking up one helper over that span, so he may get a look with the Blues at some point in 2021-22, but this move indicates he'll start the season in the minors.

Peca signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Peca spent the majority of the 2020-21 season with AHL Belleville, notching 11 points in 21 games, but he also made five appearances with the Senators, picking up one helper over that span. The 28-year-old forward will likely have a similar role with St. Louis during the upcoming campaign, so don't expect him to emerge as a fantasy-relevant player in 2021-22.
