The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired defenseman Ivan Provorov from the Philadelphia Flyers in a three-way trade with the Los Angeles Kings. The deal included defenseman Kevin Connauton moving from Philadelphia to L.A., while Kings defenseman Sean Walker and goaltender Calvin Petersen joined the Flyers. A couple of minor league players and a few draft picks were also involved in the trade, with Philadelphia landing Columbus' 2023 first-round pick and a couple of second-rounders. Provorov, the seventh pick of the 2015 draft, is the biggest piece of the trade, with the Russian blue-liner moving on from Philadelphia after spending all of his seven-year career so far with the Flyers. "He immediately improves our group on defense as he is durable, has great skill, skates well, is an excellent passer with an accurate shot and can effectively play at both ends of the ice," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said about Provorov.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
