[Discussion] How good is Nicolas Petan?

Look up Todd Robinson. At the same age (on the same team strangely enough - Portland) his numbers were better than Petan`s and he never even got a sniff at the NHL. His minor-league scoring numbers are amazing but he just never got the full AHL-NHL opportunity for whatever reason.

People have said it before, size matters in the NHL. Yes, even in the `New` NHL. Guys like St. Louis, T. Fleury, Ennis, are the rare exception and I do mean rare.

Petan is struggling against the size of the Oil Kings in the final. He is not playing bad by any stretch but as these playoffs have dragged on I have seen Petan shy more and more away from contact. That worries me for his future. However, no one thought that Brendan Gallagher would have a shot and he has arguably been the Calder front runner all season.

I havent really seen that... But the Oil Kings ARE boxing guys out pretty good.

Nic has always been more nimble than physical, but i think he may be relying more on feeding Brenden and Ty, than cutting in.

I think the hawks are going to go for the gusto on friday, so i assume there will be some strange antics.

Im excited at the prospect of the hawks winning at home, but winning four straight against the Kings, seems like a tall task.

Go Nic, Go Hawks!

I was looking forward to seeing how he was in the Memorial Cup. So far he has looked good, not racking up points but playing well. I would take him in the 2nd round if still around. Looking forward to the final tonight to see how he does against the Mooseheads again.
