GDT: End of the Roadie | CBJ @ BUF | 7 PM EST

[ViD]

Shots 6-1 in favor of Jackets in the third

Just need a bounce out way

Why don’t they put 91 on the first line for the final push ??

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

I don't have a lot of faith in us being able to score with the extra man, given how our offense has been lately...

They’re doing pretty well considering the available personnel

 

[Napoli]

These are the moments you really miss Z and Marchenko. Provorov get a freaking shot past the first man

 

[Seedtype]

Nice effort tonight, at least this road trip is over, heh.

 

[KCbus]

Narf.

 

[ViD]

Another game where effort can’t be questioned, just didn’t get the bounces our way. Too bad, but it is what it is given the current situation

 

[MoeBartoli]

I don’t mean this to be snarky, but Sillinger’s impact on the first line was no different than had Kuraly been in that slot.

 

[ViD]

One thing I can say more and more confident: the Jackets would be fools to let Provorov go

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Depends on his price. Hes not good enough to make around Werenski money. Which he might get on the open market.

I also have issues with potentially signing him for 8 years

if anything, his trade value raised even more tonight.

was on the ice for 14 (!!!) shots for and only 6 again at even strength.

Given the fact his brother is now at OSU, he might be interested in staying and maybe taking a team friendly contract

 

[CBJx614]

 

[S1N4TR4]

over his last 6 games, severson has 6 minor penalties.

brutal.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

I don’t mean this to be snarky, but Sillinger’s impact on the first line was no different than had Kuraly been in that slot.

I really like Silly and I defend him often, but watching pucks hit him right on the tape and bouncing away is getting really old.

Still feel like he's going to top out at a really good 3C.

 

[majormajor]

Can we call up Brindley and see what he does with Fantilli?

 

[S1N4TR4]

like yesterday

On the open market I think he gets something around the Severson deal. Maybe a bit higher, like $6.5m x 7. And he's about as good as Severson to me.

I don't offer him that but maybe $5.5m x 6? I go back and forth on whether Provorov is worth going long term with. He's really gotten slow. But I'd like to see what he could do with Werenski's training.

Given the fact his brother is now at OSU, he might be interested in staying and maybe taking a team friendly contract

I think we've seen enough to know that Provorov wants to stay here. But is he going to insist on a market-rate type deal from us? We're really not that desperate with Werenski in front of him and Mateychuk on the way up. It's not that we couldn't make great use of Provorov, but the open market rate for him will be set by teams that are in more dire need of LD.

 

[ViD]

Can we call up Brindley and see what he does with Fantilli?

Yes. And with this injury rate I wouldn’t rule out seeing Dumais soon as well

 

[joybang]

IIRC his brother announced his commitment to OSU but he’s only 16 so that’s still a couple years out.

 

[Forepar]

I “know” how this Gamescore supposedly works, but I have root problems understanding it compared to actual game results. Based on this, I would have predicted CBJ won the game - maybe handily. Not only did CBJ lose, but never felt like they were going to win. And Elvis was fine in net, so maybe deflected goals by BUFF skew the numbers? I thought that putting this up against Buffalo games score chart would better explain. I am not a subscriber; can see not legally download the Sabres chart. Still makes no sense to me.

 

[koteka]

I go back and forth on whether Provorov is worth going long term with.

No no no. Everyone is judging him on how he has played this year - his contract year. Average in the last few years when you consider signing him for term. When he wasn’t in a contract year, he played much worse than he has this season. No term for Provorov. 2 years for good money? Fine. 5 years for $4 million? Fine? 7 x $6.5 million would absolutely be stupid.

 

[Crede777]

AAV should be a point of contention, sure. But given his skating ability and durability to this point I don't have an issue with giving him longer term.

For me, AAV is where you're considering impact and production. That can be negotiated around as this is a contract year so you need to average the previous few years together. But for term, that is about reliability and durability which I think he's shown.

Plus, I think it wouldn't be remiss to point out that the Jackets should start getting in the practice of keeping Russians around considering who else is coming up for renewal. It comes up every once in a while how important Fedor Tyutin is at getting Russians comfortable in Columbus. If extending Provorov helps with that, great.

I’ve always seen him as no higher than a 3C. He lacks in almost all departments other than “competitiveness” of being top 6. That said he can be a contributor as a bottom 6 guy.
