I'd love to have Provorov here but not at the cost of a 1st for 55-60 games this year.

Yeah Provorov is solid but he doesn't feel like the type this team needs currently. He isn't the guy you bring in to anchor a 3rd pair in a PK/pure defensive role.
Should have just paid Dillon when we paid Nino, he is perfect for what we need in that spot
I'm not sure that is what he was talking about.
He would be excellent in the 2 LHD spot until Sammy got back. Also, he has played in MB for 2 seasons with the Wheat Kings.
You are correct. Meant to respond to your post.
Despite Samberg being injured and Provorov playing in Brandon, I don't see him as the shut down type of dman we seem to prefer for that slot. And need more if on the team.

Provorov may not be a “pure shutdown “ defenseman, but his defending is still a hell of a lot better than Stanley’s and he better at everything else.

To upgrade on Stan at 3LD shouldn't cost either. But we already have upgrades for 3LD.

But he is way beyond a simple upgrade on Stanley. But Provorov would be a pure rental.
Agreed. I don’t see Chevy going the pure rental route until the TDL, if he feels we need an upgrade going into the stretch drive and playoffs.

Yeah, apparently the simple upgrades we already have can’t solidify that spot over Stanley so the upgrade has to go beyond plain simple. Get a marginally better player and you run the risk that he gets the Miller treatment of last season and is stapled to the press box.

I hope he avoids the pure rentals altogether.

Or the Fleury/Heinola treatment so far this year.
Funny how Fleury wasn't good enough to play 3LD once Stan was back but he is the one to play 2LD when Snerg went down.
Garrett has written some stuff about Stanley:

A Hohl lot of good information in that article!
