Lol.

 

[BlueDream]

yeah and I also want $10 mil per year. We both have about an equal chance of getting it.

 

[BigEezyE22]

Me, too

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Hoping lol grade A reporting there.

This RFA market is insane.

The first shoe needs to drop so we can end this madness.

 

[the_fan]

Screw that, I want 20 mill

 

[Mickey Marner]

SKA or CSKA. Decisions, decisions.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Such are the days where a 26 point player can ask for 10M dollars per year and not be told to f*** off.. Yikes.

 

[NyIander]

Ridiculous, looking more an more likely that most of these RFA's will be heading overseas for the year.

 

[Deebs]

Enjoy Russia kid

The Ekblad comp is up to $8.37 mil, when adjusted for inflation. The Flyers are probably offering less than that on an 8 year term. Provorov's camp is likely asking for more to counterbalance that. Nothing to freak out about.

Holy smokes

He is not comparable to Ekblad and shouldn't get more than 6M per.

 

[skyo]

WOW, $10M AAV lol no wonder that'll take a long time to getr done.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Geez.. I don’t even know how to react to that.

 

[slg1963]

Provorov is good but he is not worth 10 mil per. 8 x 8 will be my guess

 

[izzy]

holy f*** !

 

[Zirakzigil]

How about no? Some of these players need a large dose of reality.

 

[Moskau]

He's better than Ekblad.

Did Hedger hear that from some dude on Twitter after said dude said trust me on this Brian or this guy is a legit guy with some kind of cred?

 

[Pez68]

It's always good to have dreams. However unreasonable they might be.

10m sounds absurd, but then you realize it's not THAT far from the 8m he'd be likely (and fairly, imo) to command on a full-term deal and can see it's certainly an opening salvo for negotiations.

But I'm also very high on Provorov, so it depends on what you think he is now and is likely to be in short order.

Even $8 million is excessive for him at this juncture. He's been fed minutes like a legit #1 but he isn't one, yet. Has the tools but hasn't put them together consistently, his usage has been dictated by bad coaches and ass-awful defensive depth.

If he wants that he better take 8 years and live up to it right out of the box, if he wants any more then he should be taking a bridge at $6.5m or $7m for 2-3 years. Absolute fool's errand to give him more than $8m based on his spotty first three seasons. Some soaring highs, surrounded by long stretches of very mediocre-to-average play on both sides of the ice.

$10 million for 26 points?

This guy needs a bridge deal.. 2X4.5
