Provorov could be paired with rookie defenseman David Jiricek, who was the sixth overall pick in 2022.
Provorov gained notoriety this season for being the first NHL player to boycott his team's pregame Pride celebration, opting out of warmups Jan. 17 when the Flyers wore Pride jerseys and used rainbow tape in symbolic support of the LGBTQIA+ community.
