I'm torn on the Provorov trade. The point of him being on the team is that we keep him around until Mateychuk's ready to break in and then trade him to make room; the idea wasn't to swap him for other roster players. But at the same time, Lindgren looks kind of interesting, and while I don't exactly have faith in Kakko myself I can see why some people might want to attempt the gamble. And yet on the other other hand, we have a huge logjam at wing such that Kakko is unlikely to get any useful minutes here and Lindgren would have to prove himself almost immediately or else we've not actually solved the problem and now we're less likely to recoup our costs. So I'm kind of going back and forth on this one.
