Simple question - can Provorov overdo one of the greatest Soviet / Russian defenseman of all time?
He can.It's far too early to tell, but do you really think Provorov is going to become arguably the best Russian D of all time?
This. He may have a better NHL career than Fetisov, but that's a completely different discussion.It's far too early to tell, but do you really think Provorov is going to become arguably the best Russian D of all time?
Fetisov career high in nhl was around 40 pointsUnless Provorov is elite defensively (like Doughty level D) and scoring 60-70 points a season, then no.

Was thinking the same thing. It's crazy unfair to compare a 20 year old kid to a top-10 D of all time. Provorov is very talented though. With his style and personality, he looks like Ray Bourque's illegitimate son.Why stop there? Why not Bobby Orr?
