Player Discussion: Petan
- Thread starter boydkc
- Start date
The Jets have a 6 game home stand right around the corner and the Moose are also in town for 4, it would be the ideal time to get Petan on his stint w
As he could easily be brought back in case of an emergency.
Agreed a conditioning stint for Petan makes the most sense. Give him a few games in the A before making any decisions.

I likely see Vesalainen not making it past 9 games if he's getting such little icetime. He's the one to go down, IMO.

Based on...nothing at all? He hasn't played. What spot has he been gifted?

It's called compassion, look it up.
He played 2 preseason games. I think Lemieux and Dano are a better fit for bottom 6.
Love getting personally attacked by a moderator. I don't think he'd get a pb spot if he was at camp. That's a hockey opinion even if wrong. Telling someone they have no compassion is a personal attack.

I'm simply pointing out why he's still being given an opportunity, nobody's attacking you. Having said that, you're comment was pretty insensitive.

If you are gonna get offended and call out the the mods, maybe just stick to watching the Jets, and zip it. You say something stupid, the people will have something to say. Suck it up.

It's Nic's turn over at Arctic's Top 25 Under 25.
They include his hattric performance video at the
World Juniors.
It's a bittersweet moment seeing his mom and dad enjoying
this special event.
I'm hoping that Petan is able to move forward and takes the
next step in a successful nhl career.
I'm a fan.

What offensive did he say? He just stated the facts, that it’s improbable Petan would have clinched a roster spot was it not for his personal tragedy. That’s not a lack of compassion.
Also, if your parent died I don’t think you’d get a promotion at your job. It’s not a lack of compassion from your boss either, that’s just how the world works. However, if you DID get a promotion such nepotism should be called out, which is what probablywrongbut did.

Ok I can only read half the debate but when/if Petan ever arrives as a full time active player on the Jets roster the last thing I would say is he was gifted a spot......he has been in the Jets system developing for 5 seasons now and for the most part when he has got a cup of coffee with the Jets he has either been stuck with plugs and sucked or he has played with non plugs and done well.
This season Nic was finally poised to be sharing the 12-13 role with Dano until his father passed and KVes had a good camp. The good news for Dano and Petan is there are no plugs left to play with. We have 79 games left and I have no idea what Nic’s state of mind is right now but time will tell. For now KVes is getting a shot but unless he starts getting more work it seems like a waist of an ELC year and we are holding back his development. I like Vesalainen but I still think he needs a stint in the AHL to play big minutes in all situations.
I have no idea what Petan’s career path going forward will look like. I think he is good enough to be a full time NHL player but I have my doubts it will be in Winnipeg. We are too deep at forward and unless there are allot of injuries I am not sure he or Dano will ever get the usage here. That is life in the NHL though....luck and timing play a huge role in career arcs for so many players.

Good post PS. I think the Jets will be sensitive to Petan's circumstances and give him an opportunity to restart where he left off having to return home. IMO at least a restart isn't gifting but allowing for one of your players to prove he can be a contributing member of the team. I think Petan will need a conditioning stint with the Moose to get up to game speed as he has fallen well behind being away for close to a month. After the conditioning stint, provided he has looked good and has his head into the game bring him back up and give him some NHL games. At that point make a decision on his future. Like you I have some doubts that his future with the Jets, but he deserves the opportunity.
Gifted a spot? The kid had a dominant year in the AHL last year and that is what would have earned him an opportunity. Once again people put way too much stick into training camp and what is earned there. Look no further then Ves who had a solid camp but is clearly not NHL ready.
The Jets will also not keep Lemieux up to ride pine in the PB considering there is still a lot of development that he can get done on the Moose and he is waiver exempt.
I would say Ves won't make it past his 9 games and Lemieux is better served in the AHL.
I like the idea of a conditioning stint and then a chance to make an impact in the lineup.
KVes and Lemieux should be Moose for the time being
If Petan is ready he should get a chance (over Dano) to play somewhere in the mix with Laine, Ehlers, Roslovic, Perreault, Little. Maybe his playmaking attributes can help some of these players start to produce. If only he could click with a Laine or Ehlers...

Does a conditioning stint remove the need for waivers? How does that work?
His contract status always gave him a leg up for a job in that 12-13 role. Ves and Lemieux are the easy demotions.

He can go to the Moose for a max of 2 weeks if he agrees to it and it doesn't require him to be placed on waivers.
Yep, it removes the need for waivers, though it has conditions and the circumstances may be investigated. Here's the rule:

The bolded can't be emphasized enough, earning jobs in camp is largely mythical in the grand scheme of things. Spots aren't decided based on pick up games against non NHL rosters.

That's a pretty inconsiderate rude thing to say given the circumstances. He likely would have made the team over the likes of Dano, Lemieux and even Vesalainen.
