I will be cheering this guy on hard and I hope he succeeds greatly as his fathers death hits close to home for me.
Best of luck Nic I just found this out about him

of course we not gonna miss his offense, i dont even know why people bring it up, its not all about offense
we are super weak at center depth if injuries hit and par can play center or wing, and he was 1 of our top 5 PK forwards, and played a super solid defensive game for us
hes not gonna be missed that much at all but our center depth in the marlies is terrible, no1 can come in and give us nhl center minutes, and now we need someone to step in and give us good PK time too...par isnt that useful to us, but man hes more useful than petan right now
funny how this board used to laugh at Montreal when they were loaded with smurfs but now that we keep adding them all of sudden they've become the way to win , lol
it's unfortunate you've been in a coma and haven't really kept up with the state of the league. Big and slow teams like LA suck now, and small skilled teams like Tampa are dominating the leaguefunny how this board used to laugh at Montreal when they were loaded with smurfs but now that we keep adding them all of sudden they've become the way to win , lol

If my memory serves me correctly, that nickname tended to be used mostly during the Burke era when the Habs consistently made the playoffs while the big gritty Leafs had trouble getting out of the bottom 10...
I think it was more about taking away Babcock's toys, TBH. There is zero reason Lindholm should have been playing ahead of Moore.funny how this board used to laugh at Montreal when they were loaded with smurfs but now that we keep adding them all of sudden they've become the way to win , lol
so players are either big and slow or small and fast ?it's unfortunate you've been in a coma and haven't really kept up with the state of the league. Big and slow teams like LA suck now, and small skilled teams like Tampa are dominating the league
Size does not equal slow or lack of skill.Look at the Oilers recent attempt at a rebuild.
They got rid of skill, brought in larger gritty guys to surround McDavid/LD/RNH and the results speak for themselves
Petan not playing in Winnipeg had nothing to do with his hustle and competitiveness. Those attributes are welcome additions. I don't think he skates any better than Connor Brown so temper your expectations. Chances are the coach is going to like him more than that element of the fanbase who thinks every player on the team should have elite skill.
I don't think Dubas was shopping Lindholm. I think he got a player he had on his radar and the ask (Lindholm) was so little.
There was a player acquired by the Red Wings in 1993 from Winnipeg for cash who had Team Canada pedigree, hustle and unfulfilled scoring expectations. That trade turned out pretty well.
Why would he hit waviers. That would mean we traded for the sake of trading.Would not be surprised if Petan goes on waivers in favour of Moore, or if we call up Moore and use Petan as a 13th forward.
Father says the Leafs are the new age team that will lead the way in showing how speed and skill can win you a cup. The popular thought is you need size and toughness but future teams will model themselves after the Leafs and picking up players like Petan!!!
For the crazy high sum of $1. Honest to god, they sold him for a buck because you had to have something go the other way.Kris Draper
