And he's still playing and producing lolDidn't he just break his thumb a day or two ago?

Maybe not a high 1st like what the Habs have, but teams that actually have a chance at the playoffs might feel different.That's not the situation I would be investing my first round pick in
...because he almost broke his thumb or...?That's not the situation I would be investing my first round pick in
Okay so don't? Other teams will be. He's playing well in a top 4 role on a meh team that was supposed to be in the top contention for the lottery and he hasn't missed a game in a CBJ uniform.That's not the situation I would be investing my first round pick in
Columbus is going to want at min a 1st at 50% retention. That's going to be by far the bottom opening bid and before people say anything he won't get it...this happens every single year...GM love defensive players, especially ones with a history of availability/not being injured, at the trading deadlinewhats does cbj want from vancouver?
okay a first. anythign else added with hoglander?Columbus is going to want at min a 1st at 50% retention.

Now I know we been scouting Hoglander and I wouldn't doubt he ends up on our team somehow but I wouldn't be shocked seeing a package with him involved but its absolutely going to require your 1st 2025 for a 50% Provorov. There is going to be a GM who offers a 1st for Provorov and that's going to always win out.

People saying he won't get a first. You forget he's a d-man and something of a reclamation project. GMs will absolutely overpay because they're arrogant enough to think they can get something more out of him.
Yup, this guy was in a tier with Werenski before he just stagnated. Think he just physically peaked younger and then just hit a wall. Still think it’s possible there’s more there but he’s not a PP guy for sure. The Flyers beat the hell out of that dead horse.
I remember him at Brandon, just a monster, but guys like that can’t abuse grown men in the NHL like they did in juniors. When he played with Niskanen he was borderline elite, he’s very partner reliant, agree. Loved watching him play with Nisky, was literally like bread and butter neither of them were better without each other, they just meshed perfectly.He was an absolute tank in Juniors. But he still skates well and all the pieces are there to be more than he's consistently been at the NHL level. He's very "partner sensitive" and he's honestly just had a string of mostly dumb partners that haven't worked.
If you find the right one, and get him in a more appropriate role...he could be a difference-maker.

Top rated player with a broken thumb, what a gutsy performance
We will miss him. Just like Gavrikov
Give him the Hanifin deal! Or something slightly less
We should really consider trying to keep Provorov.
He doesn't have to be any better than he is now to justify a 1st. You're stuck in the past.
Here's what Jackets fans were saying about him last night:
Now of course that was one of his best games. But it gives you a flavor of what Jackets fans think about their player.
yeah "versatile big-minutes tough guy who will effectively play through injuries" isn't something that appeals to playoff teams at allThat's not the situation I would be investing my first round pick in
