Aside from his strong performances in the AHL, Alex Petrovic also has NHL experience; this makes him the perfect low-risk summer signing that the Boston Bruins might well be able to package into a high-reward deadline deal.
Of course, on his own Alex Petrovic is getting you an AHL player, maybe a seventh round pick or likely a very average fourth line forward or seventh defenseman at the very best, depending on the trading team’s need.
Among Providence defensemen, Petrovic leads the way scoring-wise with 19 points in 41 games this season, just under a 0.5 points per game pace.
