Not particularly bad, just not good enough.

“He ain’t that good of a defender”, he said.

What he meant was: He isn't a good defender.

I'm going to stand by the comment that I made. You don't put players that "ain't that good of a defender" out there to play a lot of defensive minutes.

Well checking your posting history, I understand where this is coming from.

Yeah you know watching approximately 80 games a year of a team makes it pretty easy to understand/see what you have in players vs. what you don't. The thing that makes me scratch my head is when you have a ton of posters who paper watch or maybe catch 5 games a year commenting based on said paper or the small sample size of games that they have watched.

I am sure about that but lets not fool ourselves. You are hardly critical about anything that screams Flyers.

So this is a mix of somebody who watch a lot of Flyers games and a fan.

Provy copped plenty of criticism for his play last year on the Flyers board.

Even the most critical aren't too mad about this contract, though.

Top part is not true. Bottom part is spot on.

Right, teams usually put bad defensemen out to play a lot of minutes.

To be fair Andrew MacDonald was playing those kind of minutes before Philly got him... but I'm willing to bet a considerable amount Provorov is not MacDonald

Yep, seems common sense isn't all that common on here.

That'd be a smart bet.
