Per Pagnotta… could also be a pull for Petterson out of Pittsburgh.
Provorov has another season and salary already retained, may appeal to a contender.
The Russian defender in Tampa or Detroit would be a fascinating deal. Ideally, Tampa houses more Russians with Kucherov and Vaslievsky. Petterson and Chychrun have also been on Tampa’s radar.
