Petrov, 23, who had two big seasons in the OHL in North Bay, never got any traction on the AHL farm team. He had lots of injuries and couldn’t get going the last two seasons,” said Keith Gretzky, the GM in Bakersfield. Pederson played 183 games for the Oil Kings. “Rhys was a great leader for us,” said Oil Kings GM Michael Chan. The Oil Kings dealt fifth-round 2029 compensation for Brandon Wheat Kings 19-year-old forward Dylan Ronald, from Ponoka, who will fill the Pederson hole.
