Maybe they can try him at RD with Reilly and teach him how to fight since the leafs didn’t address their needs.

Who is Par Lindholm?

Lol yeah, definetely disappointed in Dubas for today. If you think Tampa/ Bostons going to outst you, sell gardiner for controllable assets. If you think you have a chance, improve the team.

Nic Petan goes from being worthless to a generational talent in the eyes of Leaf fans in one day! 😄.

Nice spin Joe. I think everyone on this site, of every fan base, knows it’s you and IJ that think every player in the jets organization are untouchables. I guess you’re getting sick of being called out and need to deflect some attention?

I don’t think that’s a compliment but I’ll take it Mike, lol. It’s better “than” you’re looking for though buddy. Since we’re talking about how smart people are.

Why would the leafs do this Lindholm is a solid player who plays his role. Petan sucks.

Seriously though, Toronto wins this deal and it's good for Petan. He'll be playing at least 4th line minutes regularly in Toronto maybe even top 9 minutes. I'd imagine Chevy promised to find Petan a place where he could play and did just that.

I really don’t know a lot about Petan Joe. I don’t think he’ll see top 9 minutes unless the leafs trade for a defenseman in the off season. Toronto is just as deep as Winnipeg as far as forwards go. Another little guy is not what the leafs needed.

Marcus I think I read that to with Chevy trying to move him where he could get a chance to play more. I don’t think Toronto offers him a ton of potential ice time but better to be in a new org then stay in Winnipeg.

Leafs17, McJ,

Petan is actually quite a good playmaker/ passer and may help out on your PP if it struggles. He's pretty good at finding the open guy and getting the puck into their wheelhouse. He has played center and wing, but as far as I remember the Jets used him primarily on the wing.

Had Nic's Dad not died at the beginning of the season, resulting in Nic taking some family time, I think he would have started the year on the 4th line and maybe got some 2nd PP time. A real tough break for him there and I feel for the guy.

His downsides are that he is small as you mentioned and to me at least, not particularly fast, so moving past a bottom six role will be unlikely.

Hopefully the Leafs can find a way to give him some regular playing time and he'll be a pleasant surprise for you. At least we won't have to worry about playing against him when it matters unless we're both playing for the SC. Lol.

My fear is that Petan is going to come back to hunt the Jets for their misuse of him. The Leafs most definitely won this trade.

I wouldn't be worried about Petan coming back and haunt you. Maybe he's going to haunt your AHL team but that's about it.
