Ivan Provorov

Both Severson and Provorov were acquired in offseason trades to bolster a Columbus blue line that was sorely understaffed.

Provorov described "unfortunate circumstances" in Philadelphia that lead him to believe a move will do wonders for him.

Considering the number of moving parts, its complexity and its ramifications, here are the three-team Provorov trade's winners and losers.

"He's in his prime, so he's going to keep getting better, too," Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen said about Provorov.

The 26-year-old Provorov had 27 points in 82 games last season and six goals while averaging 23:01 per game.

Provorov undeniably underwhelmed for the third straight season and now his Flyers future is in question.

These four players make the most sense for the Flyers to trade this summer as part of their rebuilding efforts.

Bettman addressed recent Pride Night controversies involving the Flyers and Rangers at an All-Star weekend news conference Saturday.

There has been a deluge of talk throughout the sports world regarding Provorov's decision. How did the Flyers get here?

"Provy did nothing wrong," Tortorella said. "Just because you don't agree with his decision, doesn't mean he did anything wrong."

Provorov did not take part in warmups because the Flyers wore special uniforms to celebrate the team's Pride Night.

Provorov cited his religious beliefs as the reason for not wearing the Pride jersey.

Provorov might remain with the Flyers past the trade deadline but it's fair to say his eventual exit is a real possibility.

The Flyers' season-opening roster has its fair share of new faces, surprises and unanswered questions.

The Flyers acquired certain players this offseason, at least in part, to make Provorov's job significantly easier.

Is true greatness on the horizon for the Flyers' top defenseman after a bounce-back 2019-20? Can he take the next step minus Niskanen?
