Petrovic’s new two-way deal carries a $775,000 NHL cap hit.
The Panthers originally selected Petrovic in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft. The six-foot-four defender, who shoots right, emerged as a regular NHL defender with the Panthers during the 2015–16 season.
In an effort to protect Petrovic from the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, the Panthers traded Reilly Smith to Vegas in a deal that ensured the Golden Knights would pick Jonathan Marchessault. Smith, Marchessault, and the Golden Knights currently lead the Panthers 2–0 in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.
Petrovic spent the entirety of the 2017–18 season with the Panthers before being traded to his hometown Edmonton Oilers midway through the 2018–19 campaign. He appeared in only nine games with the Oilers before signing with the Boston Bruins as a free agent in 2019. Despite signing NHL contracts with the Bruins, Calgary Flames, and Stars over the last four seasons, Petrovic has not appeared in a single NHL game since leaving the Oilers. He has served as an alternate captain with AHL Texas in the last two seasons.
In 263 games over parts of seven NHL regular seasons with the Panthers and Oilers, Petrovic has racked up five goals and 50 points. He’s added one goal and four points in six career Stanley Cup Playoff contests.
