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

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

This is such a weird trade. LA give up Walker and a D prospect to dump Petersen and retain on Provorov?

Columbus get a guy that may only stick around for 18 months (if he decides he won't re-sign) when they aren't really competing just yet.

Philly are the only ones to come out of this with some sort of sense and that's weird in itself.

It's amazing that it's been this long and HFBoards still doesn't know how to handle traffic increases.

It honestly got worse after the server upgrades. I never remember it being this frail before.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

LA really got a get out of jail free card on that Peterson contract? wtf....

Grans and a 2nd is far from 'free' + they dealt Walker + took on 30% of Provorov's contract for 2 years.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

what is cbj doing? should be rebuilding.

CBJ are gonna tear shit up in this league as soon as this year. They have a fantastic team on the rise.

 

[Bond]

So much for my Lindholm for the 22nd and Sillinger

 

[Hostile Offer]

Looks like that Petersen contract backfired just brutally. That's quite the price to pay for dumping him.

Edit: lol didn't realize that Kings' 1st was from Columbus, confusing but seems a lot fairer that way

 

[BatVader]

Nice servers HF…this is lagging and crashing the site?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Good trade for the Jackets and Flyers. Kings sure are dumping futures lately.

I wouldn’t call it “free”

Provorov meet Mike Babcock, who will now play you 25 minutes a night. Mike always has to have one dman he leans on for everything. Whether the player wants it or not.

Columbus really made out like bandits here. Getting him at 30% retained for the 22nd pick in the draft?

LA paid a big price to get rid of two salaries. A 2nd and Grans. In the grand scheme of things, it’s probably worth that price though.

For the Flyers, it’s a bit on the odd side. Guess they like Grans. If they don’t hit on the picks it’ll go down as a lot of fluff and not much substance. They’re not likely to get a player of Provorov’s stature with either pick but nobody can really judge the trade until those two picks start developing.

By getting Peterson , guess we really have to wait on the Hart return to judge if they’re better off tomorrow or yesterday.

Nice trade by the flyers

grans isn't something to write home about though

with the blake blinders on, this is a good move by LA but this is all just because he committed way too much to way too many players in the past, now he has to pay to get out from under them in order to save his tail on gavrikov/korpisalo. in a year or two, there's probably going to be another one of these

 

[Forge]

So this is ostensibly a cap dump for LAK, right?

They basically gave up a second and Grans to clear a little less than 6 million in space ?

 

[FlyguyOX]

LFG!! Briere fleeces!!

Pick 22 and 34 combined is the same value as a pick at 8 or 9. Amazing deal for Briere

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Great deal for Flyers and Kings

Good for Jackets

All sides walk away with what they wanted (Jackets with top 4 LD, Flyers with boatload of futures and Kings with cap room)

#34 is not involved.

 

[Szechwan]

grans isn't something to write home about though

Lol all we've heard from Kings fans over the last couple of years is how great their stable of Top-4 D prospects is. They would absolute flip out if any were included in trade proposals, Grans included.

 

[Necrobutcher]

I was kinda under the impression that Provorov has turned into the ultimate meh dman who's not actually good in either end of the rink?

 

[TLEH]

Jarmo pulling a Stan Bowman on himself the year before he gets fired after CBJ falls on its face.

 

[Ace]

Very disrespectful to the two teams still competing for the cup

I’ve only seen one team competing for the cup so far

 

[Jee]

Why the hell is Provorov breaking HF ?!?
