Red Deer Rebels defenceman Alex Petrovic has agreed to terms on a three-year entry-level contract with the Florida Panthers. “Alex is another one of our top draft picks from last year that we are pleased to have signed,” said Panthers GM Dale Tallon. “He is a big and physical player who played very well in Red Deer this season, leading all defencemen on his team with 57 points. Alex is committed to working hard in the development process and we are confident that he will play a big part in our organization’s future success.” Petrovic, 19, was Florida’s second-round pick — 36th overall — in the 2010 NHL entry draft. He was named to the WHL Eastern Conference second all-star team this season.
