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

[Saekk]

Was it Petan that Jets fans didn't want in the Stone deal?

No, they've been trying to trade him the whole year.

 

[MyBudJT]

Jets Fans: You'll get a servicable player, who has developed a decent ability on the PK this season. Don't expect much offense from him though, it hasn't been able to translate at the NHL level.

 

[AKAChip]

Steal for who? I am being serious. Is Petan any good? What kind of player is he.

He's good. Amazing vision, makes his teammates better and great on the PP.

 

[Leafs87]

Omg bless you Dubas. Don’t even care how Petan plays but Lindholm was garbage

 

[irunthepeg]

Is Nic Petan gritty at all? Or even close to it?

I'd say he hasn't shown it, if he does. Not particularly fast either. But sick skills offensively and hopefully this is what he needs to get it going.

 

[Knies iT]

Lindholm's possession numbers are horrible, is he that bad Leaf fans?

Petan could be a diamond in the rough if he gets a chance with some skilled players. Don't like this at all on the surface.

He is worse than his numbers suggest. Most Leaf fans would have been happy with a 7th in return for Lindholm because it would mean Trevor Moore could get in to the lineup.

Par just does nothing well. He works hard and brings effort but has no noticeable skills and isn't particularly physical. Just the definition of a vanilla player.

 

[glucker]

I wonder who was pushing for this trade, Leafs or Jets? lol

 

[Dache]

Isn’t Petan one of Pegs better prospects?

No

 

[TheDoldrums]

Man I loved watching Petan at the World Juniors. At least he should have some offensive upside, even if he never hits it.

Lindholm was very underwhelming.

 

[koyvoo]

Petan > Lindholm

Good deal for leafs

 

[Maukkis]

Have you never not hated a Jets trade? haha

I have absolutely no reason to like a trade because I like the team.

Today, I saw nothing that would make me give them the benefit of the doubt. Pointless depth additions for futures, and an expensive rental acquisition to boot. Nothing to like there.

He's good. Amazing vision, makes his teammates better and great on the PP.

Ok cool.

 

[Frankc]

I really wonder why Cheveldayoff did that. As much as I hate the leafs, I really hope Petan have a chance and show Cheveldayoff how wrong he was on this one. There's so many players like Lindholm that can be get for a 5th round pick..

 

[Dache]

Petan is the guy Jets fans wanted as the key piece in Stone deal.

That’s completely untrue.

 

[McDLT]

Jets made this trade so that Hendricks doesn't have to be the worst player on the team.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Petan seems like a Bracco but could make it some day. We have too many guys to put in the bottom 6 so Lindholm moving makes sense. Hes trended down as the season went on.

 

[7even]

Any Leafs fan wanna tell me how deep, meaningful and highly thoughtout this move is?

I would need volumes, to really understand it we need to start with the Ayatollah crisis of 1981.

 

[Cellee]

Was it Petan that Jets fans didn't want in the Stone deal?

lol no

Most Jets fans want Petan to get a chance elsewhere

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I am just glad Lindholm is gone to be honest. He has seemingly gotten progressively worse as the season has gone on.

 

[Maukkis]

What the heck happened to this petan guy? I thought he was supposed to be an offensive juggernaut

He has been given mind-numbingly little opportunity to produce with good players, even though the little shots he has had suggest that it would be a great idea. What a waste of a potentially good player.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Lindholm's possession numbers are horrible, is he that bad Leaf fans?

Petan could be a diamond in the rough if he gets a chance with some skilled players. Don't like this at all on the surface.

Lindholm is the perfect example of a guy who is strong all-round in another pro league but just becomes below average at everything at the NHL level and therefor have little to offer. He's reliable defensively and pretty smart, but on a good day he is mainly just there.

I wish I could say I hope he does well for you guys, but I feel like that would be disingenuous. I think you basically gave away Petan for nothing.

 

[Dache]

Don't mind it for Toronto...at least it's a winger playing on the wing.

@Jets is petan good in a bottom 6 role? Or should play top 6 somewhere?

Definetly no room, even in the top 9 for him

I’d say he’s a 3rd line kinda guy, can play forth if needed though. Good energy guy

 

[Cellee]

I wish Petan the best of luck with the Leafs.

Same

 

[NyIander]

I don't see what Chevy saw in Lindholm, he's absolutely invisible on the ice. Petan looks like he has some upside.

 

[Drew311]

Lindholm literally has no impact on games.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I wonder who was pushing for this trade, Leafs or Jets? lol

It was probably done for Petan's sake, because he just sits in the pressbox and sure isn't getting a chance on our lineup.

 

[ijuka]

Scouting report on Nic Petan: Rather skilled, good hands, vision and playmaking. Very small, bad skater. Has some fans, I have never liked him.

I think Petan can be effective if put in a position to succeed and given PP time.

Tweeners all around
