While the trade market around the league is buzzing with big names like Max Pacioretty, Rick Nash, and the entire Ottawa Senators core, several smaller names serve as intriguing targets as well. One of these players comes from Winnipeg in the form of Nic Petan, a 2013 second-round pick who hasn’t been able to carve out a consistent place in the Winnipeg Jets’ lineup.
While he hasn’t directly been mentioned in any rumours, the Jets are in an interesting position in which they have the prospect depth to trade Petan away and get NHL assets for a playoff run right now.
