    Wow. Have to wonder what kinda subsequent deals woulda got made for a C if we went with a LHD.

    I’m happy it went the way it did.

    I wouldn’t mind that trade but then they would still have a hole at #1/2 C. Provorov in the right environment is a top pairing dman. If JoMo can flourish under Bones then Provorov definitely can aswell.

    A piece in the source article linked from 32 Thoughts:

    >Provorov would be a really good fit there for a Jets team that is going to be among the three or four in the West with a legit shot at reaching the Stanley Cup Final. He wasn’t just throwing a dart there. He’s probably gotten a little bit of intel. It could be from the Provorov camp – which could mean that’s his preference – especially since he played junior hockey in Manitoba, and is comfortable/familiar with the area.

    >Or, it could be from sources with either the Flyers or the Jets. Considering Cheveldayoff was interested before, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he still was, especially now when Provorov wouldn’t cost as much as he did two years ago

    Inbound?
