All these Provorov defenders are hilarious.... oh well I guess they need somebody to cheer for and it might as well be a 7 million dollar a year defenseman that is only good if he has the "right" partner
- Dr. Pepper


Not as hilarious as the detractors who are not capable of realizing that Provorov has been a very good NHL player since he broke into the NHL at 19. He's very rarely had the "right" partner.

Really can’t put G and Risto in that bunch.

Risto can be gone by the end of the season if need be, and it frees up cap room (though it’s probably time to see what you can get for him as a rental). G is not injured, and he has not been extended yet.

- Hesh_

Given what he gave up to acquire him, Risto has to be extended. Lossing him will not be a good look for the GM. For all intensive purposes, Giroux is re-signed (and probably for too much and too long). It is absolutely in the Flyers DNA to extend him excessively.....

And yet all they did all last year was say how much Provorov needed Niskanen and it seems Provorov wasn't able to elevate anyone elses game the same way he did Niskanens. You also probably think Ellis would be nothing without Provorov.

He's not making 7M per and he is a legit top pairing defenseman in the NHL.

Do they end up moving Giroux at the TDL if we're out of it, Got to think the return on someone like him could be healthy, expiring contract, if we eat the salary, Great add for a playoff push. Leadership (here comes the hate), great on faceoffs, still showing plenty in the tank. Hate to see him in another Jersey though.

I see Brian Elliot willost likely be the starter at the game. In typical former flyer fashion he will dominate us

First off he has to agree to a trade and if he does bet he limits it to an East Coast team like Rags..Caps or Canes. Gonna limit the return though think he will bring a late first and a B prospect if he is traded

He is far from a top pair defenseman except on the Flyers, if you want to argue over $250,000 lets have at er

So you're telling me that Provorov is not one of the top 64 defenseman in the NHL?
