Nic Petan needs to play and he needs to produce.
He’s doing very little of the former and almost none of the latter, which is why it’s time the skilled forward reports to duty with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.
This is not a knee-jerk reaction to the Winnipeg Jets current state of affairs, the one that includes a six-game losing streak and a record that has slipped below .500 at 8-9-2 heading into Wednesday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
As we close in on the quarter-pole mark of the new season, my opinion on the matter is the same as it was during training camp.
