LeBrun: CBJ will be looking for a 1st round pick for Provorov once they are ready to move him

Personally I would keep and re - sign him, I like his durability and solid defensive play. His offense has been very underwhelming, basically on par with Gavrikov

He flashed so much more offense in his first few years in Philly, but towards the end it dried up. He used to be one of the best in the NHL at getting chances downlow and in the slot for a defensemen but those days are behind him.

I think you’re missing the point. A late 1st this year is worth (roughly) a late 1st next year plus a 3rd. Sure, teams could add more, but then they’re paying more, so instead the offer becomes a 1st and a 2nd.

No, you're missing the point that Edmonton's offer is easily beatable by every team in the league by simply giving up this years first instead of next, so Edmonton will be the ones forced to overpay.

If the other team offers a 1st and 3rd, Edmonton will have to trade away two 1sts to match, and one of them is from 3 years away.
