Confirmed Trade: [WPG/TOR] Nic Petan for Par Lindholm

[Royale With Cheese]

Don’t know squat about Lindholm.

Petan, he seems to be the classic junior offence first player that can’t really make the big show.

Reminds me of a poor mans Kyle Wellwood.

I think Chevy did Petan a favour with this trade, just like he did by putting Marko Dano on waivers.

Would be pleasantly surprised to see Petan get a regular spot in the NHL.

 

[ffh]

Ill give you penalty killing, but the guy had zero offensive ability. Hes not 2 way at all.

Petan cant score in this league either . He has 110 games of proof of this. At least lindholm can play on 4th line and kill penalties.

 

[The Shadow]

This is a meaningless trade really that is getting far more attention than it should

 

[namttebih]

Has Petan played C at all for the Jets?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

13 pages for a depth trade for both teams? U serious hfboards?? Neither of these guys are long for the NHL.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Who cares?
Two nothing pieces traded for each other.
It give Winnipeg some depth and it give TO boom or bust prospect.

I'v been to your board. A lot of Jets fans believe Petan is some potential impact player who never got a fair shake in the Peg.

Ok. Thats fine.

Hes still young enough he may have a chance at figuring it out.

Im not saying this is some great steal for the Leafs, in the end its a swap of 4th line/13th forwards

They are not the brightest ppl in the world.. They can talk about whatever they want... Jr was many years ago now.. He did get a chance.. Over 100 nhl games and did nothing notable. Hes depth at best.

Most prospects that get 110 games got a fair shake. They are wrong.

 

[seanlinden]

The Goat did more in last nights game than Lindholm did all season.

Yes he did.

And there's many other games where Gauthier is a liability.

Okay so let me get this straight.
We trade Leivo because he isn't what we want, wanted to get him a better opportunity.
Then we trade lindholm because we prefer the Goat at 4th line C
And trade him for someone that's worse than Leivo to replace the hole at LW left by leivo?

Am I getting this right? lol

No, we traded Lindholm so Moore has a spot....and he's better than Leivo.

Par is a good 4 liner who can PK and win draws; his O is practically non-existent, but there's always a market for those types of players who can grind; on the other hand, Petan seems like a skill guy who will either excel or bust under Babs; predict he'll fizzle out as there is no room for him in our top 9, but hope he proves everyone wrong.

Too bad, I'd rather we have kept Par, but being an upcoming UFA is probably the primary reason this move had to be made.

No, he has never played C for the Jets

 

[idontusethisanymore]

Steve Dangle is a legend

 

[Faltorvo]

Outstanding junior numbers.
Justin Azevedo also had outstanding junior numbers.

outstanding AHL numbers also

 

[namttebih]

No, he has never played C for the Jets

Thanks man!

I feel the same way,,,,, PPG in the AHL is encouraging ,given his age/past pedigree

lack of opportunity in the peg to play with "skilled"players.

nope, not really

Dubas kept his word to Leivo , JL did not earn reg icetime with Babs, so Dubas moved him on to give him a shot

We moved lindholm over goat because we need a cheap 4thC going forward

Wasnt almost all of that playing on the fourth line though?

Ha get over yourself, people aren't always going to believe the same things as you, doesn't make them stupid.

 

[AcerComputer]

So glad Dubas saw the light and got rid of Lindholm. He has been so invisible that I forget that he's on the team.

 

[NarcoPolo]

His most common linemate during his time in winnipeg was chris thorburn. Not exactly an ideal line mate when judging what you have in a young player.

 

[winnipegger]

I hope Petan makes an NHL career happen. Never liked how he was used on the Jets. The thing that holds him back is footspeed and obviously his size. Tends to get smothered because he isn't fast enough. Could see him make a career though because his vision and passing skills are off the charts.
