Petrov is just the latest in a line of snipers the OIlers have drafted, including Kirill Maksimov, Raphael Lavoie and Carter Savoie. The hope is that one of them will hit it big and earn a spot in Edmonton’s Top 6.
Elite Prospects says of young Petrov: “He has the mechanics of a wrist shot down: distance between feet, downward pressure with forward force through the shot, top hand out, and keeping his chest up. Petrov can move the puck under stick, saucer it above stick, and deceive with look-offs.”
