The Flyers are trading Ivan Provorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of a three-team deal that also involves the Los Angeles Kings, sources confirmed to The Inquirer. We have more details on the deal here:
The Ivan Provorov era in Philadelphia is over, as Tuesday the Flyers traded the Russian defenseman to the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of a three-team deal that also involves the Los Angeles Kings.
The move kicks off new general manager Danny Brière and the Flyers’ rebuild in earnest and lands them three more picks, including a first in what is considered a strong 2023 draft at the top. The Flyers are set to pick at No. 7 later this month and don’t own a second-round pick this year due to the 2022 Rasmus Ristolainen trade.
Provorov has struggled since, coinciding with some of the leanest years in franchise history. The organization has cycled through various partners for the defenseman, but has never been able to find a connection like the one Provorov had with Matt Niskanen in his second season. Shayne Gostisbehere, Travis Sanheim, Justin Braun, Ryan Ellis, Tony DeAngelo, and Cam York have all played alongside Provorov at one stage or another.
Provorov does not come without some controversy. Earlier this season, he cited his Russian Orthodox faith Adding two future second-round picks, one in 2024, and one in 2024 or 2025 depending on conditions, is also important for a Flyers team that needs to stock its cupboard with draft picks as they embark on a rebuild. The prospect Grans is also far from a throw-in. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder is a coveted right-shot defenseman and was the No. 35 overall pick in the 2020 draft. In addition to his ideal size, Grans is a mobile and talented puck-mover who has a lot of raw ability.
