Just the way he slows down the game. He needs to play with very specific players. A speed player like Kessel or Wheeler wouldn't work out so good. Petan tends to like to carry the puck in, but slow it down once he crosses the blue line and evaluate his options much like Thornton.
He'd play great with guys that can get shots off quick and know how to get to the quiet areas.
Hmm... Connor?
Or maybe prime Ladd?
I agree. It may take some time to find the ideal Petan combination(s), but he is a unique player and I think will repay the time taken.
Nice to have players like Ehlers, Wheeler and Chef who work best at speed and players like Petan who like to slow the game down and pick passes. Must make it harder to play against a team who (someday) will be dangerous across a variety of gears.
