Peterborough Petes forward Tucker Robertson is heading to the Pacific Midwest as he was drafted 123rd overall by the Seattle Kraken in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Robertson has become the first-ever Pete drafted by the Seattle Kraken since the team’s inception last year.
He knotted 41 goals and 40 assists for 81 points in 68 games with the Petes.
“Relentless and determined player with good creativity,” said Joey Tenute, NHL scout. “Works hard away from the puck.”
Petes President Dave Pogue and assistant coach Andrew Verner were in attendance at the Bell Centre in Montréal with Robertson where the draft was held.
Robertson will join fellow OHLer and Kingston Frontenac, Shane Wright, who was drafted fourth by Seattle.
