Player Discussion: Ivan Provorov

[tunnelvision]

Is 5 years a short term deal ? I think Provorov should be fine what that term if his money numbers are met and he’s really interested in staying

I guess it's subjective how we define short and long term in this context.

Personally, an ideal short-term deal would be 1-2 years. I wouldn't accept 4 or more years (=long-term). And if had to choose between a 3-year deal and outcome #3, I'm not sure yet which I would prefer.

Yeah, I don’t see him taking anything less than 5 years unless AAV is through the roof

Not that this is “that” important but it again reiterates the families desire to stay here.

Big time selling point to FAs with young families…sell it hard.

Sure, bring Provorov back and stay mid-at-best defensively.. Actually not even mid, just bad if we "keep the band together".

Alright, who's next to give the zoo tour? DSL?

Our next big selling point to take over from the zoo is that there is no traffic. It always seems to be something people mention in these types of interviews about the city.

Also, the traffic that does exist is very pleasant. I think Ohio has some of the most agreeable, responsible drivers in the country.

Traffic is relative. Growing up on Long Island...Columbus is a cake walk. However, I imagine those that have been in Columbus (or Ohio?) their entire driving lives probably see the growth and find traffic miserable. Adding 5-10 min to my drive is no bother since that's usually a 20-25 min drive anyway. Adding 30 min to a 20 min drive in NY (normal for them, awful for anyone else)...that sucks.
