Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/LAK/PHI] Provorov (30% retain by LAK) to CBJ; Walker, Grans, Petersen, '23 LAK 1st, '24 LAK 2nd, '24 CBJ 2nd to PHI; Connauton, Hodgson to LAK

Couple of assists, bunch of blocks, 23 minutes of play. Provorov will be alright I think

He had a couple of those games in Philly too, either way it doesn’t need to be bumped after every game. Let the thread die and you guys enjoy IP.

I'm going to give it some time over some of the negative reviews from some of those who have watched him much closer and for longer. I've watched him in Philly when playing the CBJ but I've only seen two games of him on the CBJ and have seen both some really good and some really bad moments. I also remember how bad JMFJ was going to be when he got traded to Columbus. I think Provy is in a good position not having to be a #1 guy. He might not be here long term but he fits in nicely on that second pair LD right now.

I'm more curious on how Provorov has settled with not being the #1 guy because he certainly thought he was (or at least should be) that guy when he was in Philly.

He seems really happy right now, or to better say he looks to be in good place right now

We only got half a game so far where Werenski was in, but the feeling is that on any given night, Werenski, Provorov, or Severson could get #1 minutes, with Jiricek pushing to be the eventual other piece of that top 4.

Without any weight of expectations to be a #1, and only on a $4.75 x 2 deal remaining, he’s looking like a pretty valuable piece of a top 4.

First game was Provorov-Severson, then Werenski got hurt, so second game was Provorov-Jiricek with Severson anchoring the other pair with Boqvist.

Can you link where he said he thinks he should be the number 1 dman when he was there? Genuinely curious if he communicated that.

Strong assertion. And since you are so “certain” you should certainly be able to back this assertion up with a link I’d imagine.

Provorov averaged 24:28 (19:49 at ES) a game outside of his rookie season. He was the clear #1 for 6 of 7 years in Philly.

Thread was bumped by a Flyers fan talking crap after last Thursday's CBJ-Philly game. Of course there's going to be response.

And now it won’t be bumped. Everyone can go back to their home forums.
