Confirmed with Link: [MOD WARNING post #272] CBJ acquire Provorov for LA first round pick (#22), conditional ‘24 or ‘25 2nd round pick

[CBJWerenski8]

Any guesses on when he's going to share his thoughts on joining CBJ? Still enjoying vacation and unable to give comments from that mysterious "remote island"? I don't recall any new Jacket going radio silent for this long after a trade since Carter.

Maybe they're planning to do a one big press conference in July featuring Babcock, Severson, Backstrom, Provorov and a new center signed to anticipated albatross extension ( )?

I’m going to guess he doesn’t speak until training camp. Or if he does it’ll just be a Portzline interview for the athletic.

I can’t imagine he gets a press conference. Maybe a joint one like you suggested with a new guy we bring in (not Severson since they already did his).

I reached out to Svoboda and he indicated he was in Hawaii getting engaged and hasn't tried to reach him. Didn't think there would be any issue though. We'll find out soon I suspect.

Svoboda or Provorov is in Hawaii getting engaged?

I believe Provorov just got engaged, post trade

Provorov... Sorry, wasn't clear

 

[DEF]

Could it be Provorov hasn't found out he's been traded yet?

Could it be Provorov hasn't found out he's been traded yet?

Are we thinking the courier pigeon got lost or that the boat sank?

Provorov... Sorry, wasn't clear

If he's engaged, could explain why no one can reach him.

Damn he looks like Savard in this preview image

Also available in text format on the NHL/BlueJackets.com website.

Certainly a good interview, you know, and he comes off well.

And maybe the ninnies on reddit will stop speculating he needs a translator after hearing him speak. He's been in North America since he was 15 and he's marrying an American. His English is fluent.

 

[Ice9]

You know, he like, you know is decently spoken you know...

All kidding aside, I hope he feels little to no pressure here and him and his mate can go out relax and have fun with the system Babcock installs. Let em play Mike!

 

[LJ7]

I think he's in a very good situation to "revitalize" his career here. Perfect role and coach for it to happen.

 

[DEF]

Glad he finally found out.

Also happens to be Russian colors too, no?

Yup

 

[traffic cone]

Maybe he means North Korea? Or USA?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Very likeable guy. Looking forward to watching him play in Columbus.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Hope he plays well, but nah. Not likable. Sorry.

 

[cbjgirl]

Sounds like the CBJ finally have a replacement for Ron "you know" Hainsey. The verbal tic makes the video unwatchable for me.

Provorov is going to be great on the Jackets. The only time he had adequate support in Philly is when he was paired with Niskanen and he was awesome. Provorov is the perfect number 2 defenseman and will be a horse behind Werenski. The Jackets have a very nice D corps right now and still have Jiricek ready to make the full-time leap.
