Rumor: Provorov looking for $10M per season

[LTIR]

He's better than Ekblad.

Last season he was worse than a concussed Ekblad. Ekblad signed his extension after his 2nd year when he was looking like the McDavid of defensemen.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Extra spicy indeed.

 

[Derg12]

W T F!?

 

[Srsly]

He's better than Ekblad.

I disagree. I think some opinions maybe swayed this season now that Florida has put effort into the improving the team around him.

Regardless, neither player is worth 10mil.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Lmfao. Good luck with that

 

[al secord]

Man...he must be good.

 

[BusQuets]

Heiskanen and Dahlin can't wait to be RFAs.

 

[Advanced stats]

Not surprised.

The flyers offer 6 million and they meet at 8 halfway through training camp.

Long term deal.

 

[Dooble08]

$10 million for 26 points?

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

Agree that 10M is ridiculous. But we don't pay defensive defensemen based on points they score.

2X4.5M is completely out to left field, even for a bridge deal.

Exactly lol. Their agents ask high every time, and every time, people here freak.

 

[Kranix]

Gotta start high in a negotiation

 

[Asheville]

He's better than Ekblad.

23 year old defenseman with 66 goals in the NHL. Go see how common those are.

He never looked like that, ever.

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?

Yes he has cred. he is a verified beat writer for the blue jackets. in the comments a verified beat writer for the flyers commented and he replied back.

 

[Seras]

All I heard last season is how this guy is already a #1 dman all the way to the off season. Now he's 26pt trash cause contract.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Good god, we've gotta sign Dahlin at some point........

 

[Dooble08]

I disagree. I think some opinions maybe swayed this season now that Florida has put effort into the improving the team around him.

Regardless, neither player is worth 10mil.

They both had fairly similar 19,20 and 21 year old seasons. But I agree that neither is worth 10M. I'd be fine with long term at 8M for Provorov.

 

[Tripod]

So when he signs for 2+ million less than this, will people say Fletch did a good job negotiating?

He doesn't deserve 8 million, let alone 10. But this is just all. BS negotiating.

I said on the Flyers board, McAvoy signing a nice contract like his teammates sure would be nice. Maybe help set the market for Dmen.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Amazing he is asking for that percentage of the cap. 10% is even a stretch for him right now.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

After the flyers knowingly over paid Hayes, this agent probably figured it was worth a shot.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Shoot for the stars and then pretend you are taking a major discount at 8 mill per?

 

[Starat327]

Not sure how a beat writer for Columbus is a valid source for Philly, but i digress.

Provorov wants 10 per, but the columbus beat writer is reporting sub 6 for Werenski. Interesting.

 

[Shnooks]

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

No chance.

Maybe one of them...but NHL teams are not going to just let assets sit out a year.

 

[Mats26]

Hello lockout!

 

[Video Coach]

So if it's a bridge that works out to something like 3 x $7M or something? Does that make sense? Would the Flyers do that? I would think they'd want to be $5.5-6.5 on a 3 yr deal.
