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

[Sdrawkcab321]

Someone on the main board mentioned Babcock wanted him in Toronto

 

[KJ Dangler]

First Babcock and now Provorov?

Jarmo is really winning in the fine upstanding citizen category this off-season. I want nothing to do with Provorov.

Plenty of other teams … Jarmo is killing it this offseason

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I thought we wanted to fix locker room issues, not acquire more.

His actual salary is $8.5m this coming year and $8.6m the next, so even with 30% retention the Jackets are paying around $6m a year for someone who definitely hasn't been top pair caliber in the last couple years.

It looks like we got what we paid for. But if Provorov bounces back and has a better attitude then we come out handsomely.

We’ll see. I’m not buying it.

 

[Ice9]

Maybe CBJ isn't his ultimate landing spot. Who knows...outside the box thinking.

What locker room issues ? You talking about the pride jerseys ? My guess is the NHL won’t be implementing that next season

We just hired Babcock. We’re full on nuking the locker room.

What is this based on ? Is this just regarding the Pride story ? I don’t think many players will confront him about that issues as most masculine athletes are not exactly LGBT advocates themselves

If it weren't for his off-ice bullshit, I'd be pretty content with this move.

As it is, my feelings are decidedly mixed. Like, "am I going to ever be able to attend a game again without being harassed by folks celebrating this New Old Direction" mixed.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Amazing pickup and a steal price-wise with the 30% retention. Great job by Jarmo. He is killing it this off-season so far. Finally building a team that can compete.

Provorov is an iron man. Plays a ton of minutes, hasn't been hurt and doesn't take a lot of penalties. Anyone that can take minutes away from Gudbranson and Peeke is a huge plus.

A+ trade.

 

[Cowumbus]

22 AND probably 34OA

Do you know how excited I was for some of the guys at 34…

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

This move buys some time for the younger defensemen in the pipeline so that their development doesn't have to be rushed. I'm glad Provorov is a Blue Jacket even if nobody else is.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ignoring the off ice stuff for a second, I thought 22 was a LITTLE bit steep for Provorov but I could swallow it.

22 AND 34/future second? Yeah, I don’t like that.

 

[Ice9]

Some in Philly think its 3OA...

I know what you mean. W/O going into to much detail I just stopped caring. I just watch my hockey and call it a day.

I highly doubt Jarmo traded 3OA and if he did he should be fired, rehired as an usher and then immediately fired again.

 

[Viqsi]

So we still have the #34. I wonder what the condition is.

 

[Monk]

So what're the conditions?

 

[MissADD]

Keeping 34OVA makes the deal a bit easier to swallow

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Folks are confusing locker room issues with player perception issues. None of the perception issues will matter when we're winning games again.

 

[stevo61]

Cool its not this years 2nd, makes it much easier. Not a bad deal, atleast he'll have a defenseman above him in the lineup which should help. Significantly better defense than we saw last year but a weird mix again. Something like thid as it stands today?

Werenski-Boqvist
Provorov-Peeke
Bean-Gudbranson

 

[VT]

Great! Provorov has excellent the first pass, skating, carry the puck. He is iron man. Under a good coach (in our case Babcock) he can show his qualities. So, our defense:

Werenski, Boqvist
Provorov, Gudbranson
xxx, xxx

I think Jiříček won't play in the first an the second pairs

And now, what with Bean?

P.S. yes, there are
Provorov, Peeke
Bean, Gudbranson

But I'm not sure if Bean and Peeke will be in the roster.

What are you talking about?

March 11, 2022:

"Recently, reports from agents, management, teammates and scouts have labeled Flyers defenceman Ivan Provorov as a locker room cancer."

"Furthermore, in his recent press conference, he threw his teammates under the bus, and did not take accountability. His teammates and management are obviously upset with this. It has also come to light that he and his girlfriend are really into social media and are obsessed with checking for negative comments directed towards Provorov."

Flyers seem to have a new locker room cancer
