IMO there are many different roster set ups that has Petan in the roster and the Jets being better overall.
That’s just opinion though.

Bettman's hammer
while he has had success in previous years he looked like shit playing with anyone in his small sample size this year and that included players he looked decent with last year.
It's kinda been the reverse of Tanev who looked like shit last year but has been good this year.
Not every player should be judged on past results without any merit being given to their current play.

Since I laced on the skates for the first time and started to (poorly) play hockey, I was told that assists are as good as goals. So were all my friends. Maybe we were just in an alternate earth...
They aren't. That's just something you tell ankle benders who can't score but can at least make a pass.

I was a big Petan fan but when does the guy actually start to produce? Still a lot of flaws in his game ie. shot, skating, intensity level...
Connor busts his butt off for the Jets has a decent shot, skates well and brings it every shift, different skill set than Petan but Connor is playing well in the NHL!~

If Petan wants to go anywhere, he should study MP's approach to the game, carefully.........
Some guys just lack that fire to f*** shit up. Perreault has that fire, Petan does not. You cannot teach the fire.

SO what happened here? Did the Jets send out a memo to some of you guys to do whatever you can to minimize Petan's skills and talents and exaggerate his weaknesses as much as possible? Such bizarre behavior around here.
Indeed bizarre. Like defending a guy who doesn't belong in the NHL.
Do not get me wrong. I'm sure he's a good kid and he has a future in other leagues.

Do we not want every one of our prospects to turn out well, even if they only improve their stock enough to get us another asset in a trade?
I don't get the denigration that goes on regarding some of our prospects.

He appears to also lack confidence - K Conner was similar last year and in his first few games this season but he got it back - fairly quickly.
It must be hard for a player who was always top shelf to all of a sudden realize he's almost starting over - he didn't adapt to the NHL game.
I don't get why we spend so much time discussing one of our prospects who turn out to be less than stellar than say discussing Niku or Poolman. A second rounder not turning out is not that big of a deal look at all the other 2nd rounders whose career doesn't mount to much.

You're welcome to ignore any thread that does not agree with you, just as others are welcome to discuss any aspect of the Jets they're interested in. This is a thread about Petan, so it's not unusual that we're discussing Petan in this thread.
Let me ask this though: Petan is a Jets prospect - he's an asset of the organization that they spent a 2nd round pick on. If he turns out well, EVEN IF there's no spot for him on the Jets, this is a positive thing for the franchise. You either have an NHL roster player, or a valuable commodity that can be used in a trade - as a Jets fan, this must be something that you can see value in, no?
Unfortunately doesn't look like other teams are even willing to give us a fifth for him.

You have zero way of knowing this.
All prospects have different timelines on their development - the point of my message is that we should all hope that ALL of our prospects turn out, even if the only reason for the development of said prospect is to use them a gambit in a trade.

I still feel Petan can contribute to this organization, but Pmo prefers to deploy different players in bottom six. I still would love to see a perreault petan armia line followed by a copp Lowry Tanev, that just screams balance to me an I feel petan would thrive there, just my opinion. But I feel Pmo prefers Hendricks in there this year so that's how she goes.

I don't know if he is the slowest, but the lack of pace to his game has been the biggest block to any NHL traction IMO. Maybe he finds it, but it seems pretty unlikely at this point. I see him as trade bait at the TD if we are buyers like I believe we will be.

Sure if a great return is in the cards! Likely have package him with Trouba for a monster style return!! 1st rounder, Top prospect D, maybe, An active Top 6!
Dont think jets will trade trouba or myers till summer. Petan literally has no value at all if traded. Probably playing in europe next year.
