ALEXANDER PETROVIC - Defenseman - 27 - UFA in 2019-2020
LAST UPDATED 8/5/19
After being a steady bottom-pairing piece for the better part of three seasons as a Florida Panther, Alex Petrovic was traded to Edmonton and lost his control over his spot in the NHL lineup. On a team without much in the way of quality defensive talent Petrovic struggled to get into the lineup, even being a healthy scratch for double-digit games. Thanks to his large six-foot-four frame, Petrovic was always thought of as a defenseman with legitimate shutdown upside. His skating has always been decent for a defenseman, and he flashed some ability as a puck mover in Florida. Unfortunately, though, he never was able to form any sort of consistency at the NHL level. Petrovic plays a physical style and can be an intimidating force, but that sometimes comes at the cost of his defensive positioning as well as overall discipline, and that sometimes costs his team. At this point in his career, he seems like he won't be able to really put all of his tools together to become a better NHL defenseman, and as a result he's a physical seventh defenseman at best at this stage of his career.
