PHI declines, Provorov is a young number 1 dman, leading the team in icetime, plays PK, ES, PP. Hes a beast, and hes just 23 yrs old.
PHI doesn't need scheifle, with coots/hayes/frost/Patrick/laughton/Giroux all at center. Sure Mark isn't old at 27, but provorov is 23! Overall I think its a loss for PHI, but a loss for a player they don't need.
WPG fans should jump at this, a 23 yr old number 1 dmen signed reasonably long term do not get traded.
I'm not sure why people think PHI needs offense, they are stocked at forward, but just misfired/looked disjointed in playoffs. Need scoring? Giroux, Coots, Voracek, Hayes, TK, a healthy Lindl;bom, JVr, farabee, patrick that's 9 scoring forwards, each of which could score 20 or more goals based on icetime! You think the lineup above needs Schiefle more than Provorov? Needs scoring?
