If Waddel were to trade Provorov, what do you think the return would be?

3rd/4th rounder
He is done, total UFA. We can’t trade him.
Have to sign him first.
We better keep Drake the Pupstar!
Assuming he was signed, the return would be entirely tied to his contract terms and how other GM’s viewed it. It could range from a late 1st if he was signed for term at below market dollars, to completely untradeable and a negative asset if he is wildly overpaid and signed for 8 years.
Waddell could trade Provorov’s negotiation rights. The Jackets can try to resign him before free agency other teams can’t contact him before free agency. Another team could trade for him in the hopes they could sign him before the signing period opens up. This is typically for around a fourth round pick.
At the deadline we would’ve gotten a good haul. I imagine a first and a second or first and a third.
Basically nothing.
Considering high demand out there still no better than a 3rd

Best case scenario is a late 3rd
