Moving Provorov and Hayes

i don't think Provorov has that kind of value anymore

With a change of scenery and a solid partner I think you'll see more of what you did in the past. In his 4 games with Ellis he looked great not that it an enormous sample size. He's also looked much better along side York than he did with Risto or Deangelo

I don't disagree with the fact that he *likely* looks better with a change of scenery/solid partner, but I wouldn't be paying a 1st+Turcotte+Durzi to find out. That's arguably a better package than Chychrun netted the Yotes, and he was cheaper/better.

With Spence and Clarke knocking on the door and his contract being after one more season I wouldn't be shocked to see Durzi moved this offseason especially since it seems like the kings want to acquire a vet LHD and it seeming likely that Gavrikov wants to test UFA. Turcotte is also in a interesting position hard to find a spot for him down the middle in LA I think if philly did acquire him Cates might move to wing and he's play center. Also feel like LA hasn't give him a serious look in the NHL since he signed.

Yeah, I mean, I'm absolutely not saying that it's an outrageous ask, I just don't think that I'd be taking that gamble. Plus, when you look at it, adding $5.05 mil in Provorov (difference between his and Durzi's contract), leaves the Kings with $2.8ish mil in cap space for next season, with Vilardi, Kupari, JAD, and a goalie to sign (This is if Petersen is buried again). If Petersen is up, or bought out, then they're over the cap before they even look at the RFA's/filling out the lineup.
