Not to defend the decision but in 6 games Petan has squadoosh
Good decision. Let Petan learn how to score again as a winger on the Moose.

Petan was part of that 4th line that contributed nothing.
Agree, Petan has done nothing so far this year. He has been virtually invisible during his games this year. Regarding the bottom 6, I'm really at the point of accepting that this is what type of lines we are running, and every player better make the most of their time there.

How is that any different from anybody else in the bottom six? They've all done f*** all 5v5. Maurice is making the bottom 6 worse. Dano and Armia were the extra skaters last practice. Petan down to the Moose. The bottom 6 is filled with role players and ineffectual grinders. This is a huge problem.

Really shocked Petan wasn't able to put up big numbers playing 6-7 minutes per game on the 4th line! What a bum!

If the Jets are to have two fourth lines, Petan won't be on the team. Given the coach strategy, right move. Given my hopes for the team.... Neutral. I like Petan, but he just doesn't contribute, even on PP.

Probably the best thing for him right now. I’m sure he’ll get another shot this calendar year.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Petan hasn't done a lot admittedly, but I remain convinced that as long as this team is built in the mode Maurice wants, they're going nowhere.

for over 80 games .
I don't know why people are upset. going down is the best thing for him and we knew for awhile that this was going to happen.
nobody important
the pessimist returns
Given equivalent levels of ineffectiveness, you send down the guy that is waiver exempt.

As I said in the GDT I am fine with this. Outside of PP time I have noticed Tanev a lot more than Petan so far this year. Lemieux brings similar speed and more grit and grinding, I am fine with him getting a shot to show something. I don't expect to be impressed with Hendricks but he should at least get a shot to show what he can bring.
Let Petan hopefully get some confidence with the moose, if no one in the bottom 6 steps up or someone gets hurt he will be back and hopefully better for it.

I don't see why anyone it outraged by this.
How come when Matthias or Lowry (playing on bottom 6) don't score they're "stone hands" and don't belong in the NHL. But when Petan playing with a mix of Dano/Copp/Armia/Matthias doesn't score it's all the coach's fault?
I think playing big minutes in the AHL is better for Petan at this point, hopefully he rediscovers his scoring touch and when inevitable further injuries come he returns and gives the coaches no excuses to send him down.

Exactly. Has everyone already forgot Garret's article about how when Petan is playing with skilled players he produces very well? Shame on him for not scoring while on a line with Matthias and Lemieux.

You’ve noticed Tanev more because he skates fast and fits the typical bottom 6 better because of his skill set, or lack there of. Petan hasn’t contributed but he hasn’t been put in a situation that could allow to succeed. He’s only been put in situations that would force him to change his game. In other words, he’s been forced to play to his weaknesses.

Kyle Connor took his opportunity away.
Now while he's with the Moose why not teach him to be a PK'er to give him a better chance to stick with the team?

Petan can pass through waivers. Lemieux is the only other one that can. You could make the argument that he is the one that should be sent down. I think there is a chance Armia or Dano get claimed. You could send Tanev through but I don't think his play warrants a demotion.

Typical horrible PoMo decision. Keep his bottom 6 nice and full of "intagibles, grit, veterans who know how to play the game".
I thought the goal was to help the bottom 6 with scoring? Hendricks is a plug even Edmonton couldn't or wouldn't use.

I don't think it's really a big deal here with Petan. We have not lost him, and playing a lot more minutes is likely what he needs. I still think Petan is a talented guy, and just needs to mature, and develop his game with "men." I'd like to see Petan show more intensity and grit when he plays for the Jets.
He has great hands, and scoring touch, as evidenced by his numbers in Junior, but he really seems to lack confidence. He'll eventually come along I hope - I like him

That too but has Poolman play been that poor to warrant a demotion? Too me sending Petan down to find his offensive game and figure out if he can contribute on the PP or PK is probably the best thing for him

It's hard to take because I'm in the camp that feels like Petan still has a lot to give, and can be a contributor in an offensive role. With a more offensive 3C, or at least a 2-way 3C, Petan might really find his stride alongside a guy like that and Perreault.
With the players we have for the bottom 6, and PoMo's usage of them, it might be better in the short terms for Petan to get his offensive game going in the AHL again.
This is a big year for Petan, Dano, Copp, and Armia, and the Jets will need to know how they fit into their future plans as all will require waivers next year.
