Provorov has a good chance of being a top pairing guy and could potentially even be a franchise dman. Flames would have the best top 4 D in the league with him.

Konecny is a top 6 right shot right wing with fantastic compete level and intangibles. Potential 1st line upside.

And both guys are younger than Johnny with 2 more years on their ELC's.

If that was on the table I'd pack Johnny's bags and drop him to the airport myself.
Neither guy is a sure thing (Provorov is close) making your deal not an overpay. Johnny has 203pts in 232 games before he is 24 signed for 5 years under $7M. He is proven and the real deal.

I am looking at the #2 pick, a D prospect like Sanheim, and a guy like Schenn and that is an overpay I gladly take
