Rumor: Provorov looking for $10M per season

[Hockeyfannnn91]

There’s no way this is true , he can’t be this stupid

They really need to change the RFA system in the next CBA. Some of these asks are getting a bit ridiculous. I don't even care which direction they go in - but pick one.

The revenue sharing ain't really going to change at 50%. These contracts seem to going the way of premier players are getting a bigger share of the pie. It's not hurting the owners, who it really affects are the lower end players as they can squeezed financially. The NHLPA and its voting members, have more bottom end member, I'm sure they hate the thought of a higher % going to a limited among of players.

Believe an 8m contract would make Pronovov (and Trouba) the 5th highest paid Dman in the league. Seems like an overpayment to me.

Idk pretty much any time a player's ask comes out everyone on hf is like omg is he insane .

But it's just negotiating high then the team goes low and they meet in the middle pretty much every time

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

10 million rubles?

 

[Seanaconda]

Even if they add a weird rfa cap dmen have been due to get a price bump for a while and with doughty and ek signing for eleven you'll see lots of dmen get paid more in line with forwards imo.

 

[Starat327]

my bad on that one

No worries. It's one of those things where I dont understand most Montreal posters who say MTL vs PHI, or the like. In my world, that means that Bergevin and Fletcher are in the ring squaring off, not a trade proposal.

But come to think if it... if you want to send Bergevin down to smack Fletcher around...

 

[Jeti]

He's better than Ekblad.

Neither are very good. Both were extremely hyped as rookies and then were exposed when they faced tougher minutes. So in that sense Ekblad is a good comparison.

 

[joe dirte]

I remember when Drai at 8.5 was mercilessly called one of the worst contracts in the league (albeit this mostly came from Leafs fans pre-Matthews’ contract).

Still is

 

[A1LeafNation]

Lol

 

[WingsMJN2965]

That's obviously posturing but Jesus Christ.

 

[Tuffy gosewich]

Can't blame him for shooting for the stars...

 

[jetsforever]

This guy needs an offer sheet

 

[McFlash97]

at 10 mill ...Provorov who ?

you get yours bro

 

[Hunter368]

10 million is the new 5 million.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Is it April 1st in Russia or something?

 

[Tripod]

Reminder....Provy was hoping to get a deal done before the WC. No chance he hoped for that and was asking for 10 million as a starting point.

This report is BS.

10 million: 3rd highest paid Dman
8 million: 8th highest paid Dman
7 million: 15th highest paid Dman
6 million: 22nd highest paid Dman
5.5 million: 33rd highest paid Dman....this is closer to reality

Cap is 81.5 million

7.5% of cap puts him 31st in cap hit for Dman. That is respectable, fair, and still possibly too high in rankings but it's in the "debatable" range.

7.5% of cap=6.11 million...that puts him 22nd highest paid Dmen

He should not get over 6.5 million...let alone the 8 some have mentioned...and 10 is not even a starting point.

Yeah that's gonna change fast . The top dmen aren't going to be taking less than Skinner / Hayes anymore .

I don't disagree where he should fit on your list numerically but it does seem to me that those numbers will rise significantly very soon as they do seem like some of the better bargains.

And people lost it when we signed Vasilevskiy to $9.5 million AAV. Russian superstars don't leave money on the table man... Like ever

The 33rd best defenseman in the league isn’t going to get paid $5.5M today though. Trouba sure as hell isn’t a top-5 defenseman, but he has the 5th highest cap hit among defensemen, and he signed as an RFA.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Will we get a 12 version mega-thread regarding this?

Not enough trolls and recycled material in this thread. So, I going to say no. Flyers will reach a deal that is good for both player and team.

Trouba essentially signed a UFA deal. Provy has 4 more RFA years....not 1.

Dumba just got 6 million. That is more of a comparison that anyone getting 8-10 million

 

[Mr Positive]

maybe he's aiming for 8 million, and Philly is offering 6

 

[MrMaster]

Greed is gonna destroy this league one day, like everything else that is in its path. (even if the rumors are untrue, this still applies, you greedy bastards)
