Have the Jets resolved themselves that Petan won't be a regular NHLer? Or can we hold out hope he may be a late bloomer?

Hes been passed on the depth chart by appleton Lemieux and others.. Im thinking Vesa and Spacek even. 

He's definitely in that, "needs a change environment" stage of his career. It just doesn't seem to be happening here. I'm not certain what his value is, though.

A throw in. 

Ryan Johansen has been suspended two games

Petan is the kind of guy you would want to expose to Seattle in the expansion draft if he lasts that long with us....

yeah don't do what they did with Vegas and trade draft picks to avoid losing a career AHL'er like Dano...

After another disappointing performance, William Nylander says he's never experienced a slump like this in his life, admits that it is weighing on him, but explains that he doesn't think it's a result of his contract situation. TSN

Whatever, thanks for driving up the prices and giving leverage to certain players (and agents) who really shouldn't demand the money they think they are worth but pointing the finger at you and making their case.

 

 

Hey its not Nylander's fault that he has as many points of Jaroslav Halak.

Leafs would probably make that trade right now

Love how the lead story on TSN today is that William Nylander has shaved his beard.

IMHO the Jets protected Copp in the last edraft. Now they would not.

Isn't the draft in like two years...?  Kind of early to speculate who's protected ha...  If Im Seattle I'd look at Brossoit anyway

Brossoit isnt signed next season let alone 2 or 3 more.

UFA. He signed as a UFA. Hes a UFA. 

So Comrie is the backup next season then

That's what I thought too but everywhere lists him as RFA... weird.

Chiarelli has made the Oilers a mess, lucked into getting McDavid good thing to because without him they are a last place team, poor goalie's bad defense and 3 good forwards while being up against the cap doesn't make for a successful team.

And nope you're wrong.  He's RFA - under 27 and hasn't played 7 years.

Yeah, I don't think he meets the terms. We signed him as a Group 6 UFA and I believe he reverts back to an RFA unless he meets certain conditions (age 27 and 3 qualifying years). I don't think he's met those terms.

A good way to prove that is ask yourself if you took the best player off of every NHL team how would they fare? Out of the 31 teams, I say Edmonton would struggle the most.
