‘Being a Sabres draft pick back in the 5th round of 2013, Petersen can elect to become a free agent this offseason, or go back to school and become a free agent next offseason.

With the NHL not going to South Korea next year, Petersen could be offered the starting job on Team USA if he waits on going pro.’
