The Toronto Maple Leafs Need to Give Nic Petan a Shot
The Toronto Maple Leafs traded for Nic Petan at last year’s trade deadline.
Needless to say, it didn’t appear that the move impressed Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock.
Babcock seemed to like Par Lindholm (he played him a lot even though he was pretty useless) and the size of Petan seemed to bother Babcock.
But the Leafs are a team that is built on talent, and Nic Petan has it.
Toronto Maple Leafs and Nic Petan
The Leafs should give Nic Petan a shot. He has talent, he’s got skill, and there’s reason to believe he can be a good NHL player. Especially on a team that doesn’t ignore players like him if they can’t find a home in the top-six.
