Unless the jackets are getting a 1st + I’d bet they keep him.

 

[1865]

They certainly should return at least a 1st for him.

 

[RedHawkDown]

I'd do DET 2025 1st for Provorov.

 

[Viqsi]

I'd do DET 2025 1st for Provorov.

You'd have to do more than that.

Actually, given that y'all are direct competition, you'd have to do much more than that.

Yeah don’t see CBJ trading with Detroit unless we offered something wild like Danielson and Mazur on top of the 1st.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

DW said it wouldn't be fair to remove anybody from the lineup right now. I tend to agree. Let him play it out, re-sign if it makes sense. We've collected enough magic beans at this point.

I'd do DET 2025 1st for Provorov.

The fan base would somehow have a bigger meltdown over trading for Provorov than when we signed Austin Watson.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He’s staying. Waddell has said that quite clearly multiple times

 

[Clint Eastwood]

He seems to be staying and I'd bet a good chunk of change that they extend him even if not by the deadline.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Columbus is still holding down a playoff spot, in a year when everyone said they would be awful because their best player tragically died. Even if they don't plan to extend Provorov, I would keep him if I were them, and hope to get something done in the summer before he hits UFA.

 

[S1N4TR4]

confirmed. thread should be closed now.

 

[miscs75]

They should try to pick up Ivan Ivan for entertainment purposes. Ivan scored a goal assisted by Ivan.

 

[Bard Marchand]

So how much $$$ and term will someone pay him in free agency this summer?

Haven't followed him that closely. Has he been good in Columbus?

 

[SEALBound]

Price on Luke Schenn is now a 1st.

 

[ViD]

Good. We need him for the play off push

So how much $$$ and term will someone pay him in free agency this summer?

Haven't followed him that closely. Has he been good in Columbus?

My guess is between $7 and $8m depending on term

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

The smart teams that needed D did it early.
There's dick all left that would be a difference maker.

 

[Dumais]

It's going to be 8years because CBJ can keep cap hit down. Man, GMs love their middle pairing defenders, Jarmo gave of Severson and Waddell will lock in Provorov. 27-31 year old top4 (experienced / dependable0 dmen must be impossible to find for some reason.

 

[roman star]

the article is about more than not being traded like the original thread title said ' the status of provorov ' , but some dunce had to fa

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

He’s staying. Waddell has said that quite clearly multiple times

It’d be silly for Waddell to say anything else, would diminish his trade value.

 

[Kshahdoo]

They should try to pick up Ivan Ivan for entertainment purposes. Ivan scored a goal assisted by Ivan.

They should have picked Demidov for those purposes... and honestly not just for those.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

It’d be silly for Waddell to say anything else, would diminish his trade value.

Lol. Considering Waddell said he’s been losing sleep over the decision for weeks, and then recently declared that he was staying, I’m going to go ahead and take him at his word.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Again, completely meaningless words. No sense in taking anything from them.

 

[benfranklin]

Blue Jackets buyers?! O rlly

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Again, completely meaningless words. No sense in taking anything from them.

Yeah okay. Given the sellers market the jackets could get a bounty for Provorov regardless of what Waddell states his intentions to do. Yet, he says he’s keeping him. You can believe him or not, but considering I follow the team, I’m going to go ahead and believe him.
