Analysis: The 22-year-old probably won't provide much scoring on the third pairing -- plus that's not really his game anyway -- but he's a tough blueliner who will add some penalty minutes if he's getting regular time. He's off to a nice start with a point and five PIMs.
News: Peckham should have a legitimate chance to make the team out of training camp, according to the Edmonton Sun.
Analysis: The Oilers only have three spots on the blue line locked up (Ryan Whitney, Ladislav Smid, and Tom Gilbert), that leaves three other spots up for grabs, and Peckham could grab one of those spots with a strong camp.

We'll find out how serious it is after it settles down, but it is a separation," said Edmonton head coach Pat Quinn. "We were real positive about young Theo because of what he's shown us the last little bit. It means someone else will get a chance. We're just getting pretty thin."

Analysis: Jacques, Potulny and Peckham are just organizational depth for the Oilers at this point and could bounce around all season. It's safe to ignore them in Fantasy until they become NHL regulars.

Analysis: The 21-year-old Brule had one goal and eight assists in 61 games a year ago while trying to find himself in his second year in the NHL. He has been a disappointment so far in his young NHL career, and can be ignored in most formats. Chorney and Peckham are just organizational depth.
