Babcock really liked Provorov when he was with the leafs - He wanted the leafs to take a defenceman and not Marner

Provorov isn't even that good + High salary. Don't know what people were expecting here. Sean Walker is a very good cost controlled defenseman.
Provorov is good, he just isn't a #1. Flyers have been forcing a square peg in a round hole. His best season he was a #2. He has scored 17 goals in a season before. A change of scenery and little bit less responsibility/pressure is exactly what this player needs.

Werenski and Boqvist will be able to take the offensive pressure of Provorov. I would guess he will be very good next year for Columbus.

Gimme Gavrikov over Provorov any day of the week

Me too, I wasn't crapping on Gavrikov, I am a big fan.

I just think if they really hire Babcock, they won't be satisfied with incremental progress with the Jackets making the playoffs in 3 years. If they want to add a huge piece.....that's Karlsson.

There has to be more for Philly because otherwise why wouldn't they just retain and deal with CBJ directly...No way they want Cal Petersen lol. Must be more or Philly's lost their minds.
