Overview
- The Utah Mammoth signed Andrew Peeke on Friday to a one-year contract with a $1 million cap hit, the move announced in a team press release and first reported by Chris Johnston.
- General manager Bill Armstrong said Peeke is a big, mobile defenseman with offensive upside who will add depth to Utah’s blue line and a right-shot option on the right side.
- Peeke, 28, played 77 games for Boston in 2025–26 with five goals, nine assists and an average of 19:23 of ice time, and he has 75 points in 386 career NHL games between Columbus and Boston.
- The deal represents a sizable pay cut from Peeke’s prior $2.75 million AAV and preserves roughly $3.7 million in remaining cap space for the Mammoth to use elsewhere.
- Utah views Peeke as a low-risk bottom-pairing and penalty-killing option whose role will depend on prospect readiness from players like Dmitriy Simashev and Maveric Lamoureux and on how the team distributes minutes after recent roster moves.
