Werenski right now, but I still believe in Ekblad's potential he strikes me as a late(ish) bloomer particularly with his injuries.

Werenski
Ekblad
Provorov

 

[NORiculous]

try this at the end of the season and you probably will get a different result.

 

[DesmondDekker]

Ekblad AINEC.


Oh wait, this isn't 2015 anymore !?

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

idk enough between Provorov and Werenski, but both seem to be better than Ekblad rn

Werenski sure parlayed a lot of secondary and PP points into some blind love.

Best defender, as in actual defense? The answer is Provorov, quite easily.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I'm confident the answer isn't Eklblad.

 

[Evergreen]

Provorov

 

[AdamParrot]

Werenski over Provorov? What the f***. Because Zach is playing on 1st PP unit (because Columbus hasn't Gostisbehere)? Or why?

 

[FlyTimmo]

Provorov is a beast.

 

[bukwas]

Werenski. Nice that his game has picked up right where it left off.

 

[nickdawg95]

Said Provorov, it's extremely close though

 

[whitstifier]

Interested to see how Provorov's ES scoring will look by season's end.

So your argument that Provorov is better = there's a defenseman on his own team that's better offensively than he is? Not sure the gap defensively between Provorov and Werenski is as big as you're hoping we'll infer from your post, either. If at all... maybe we'll know more by the end of the season.

 

[Sasso09]

I'm one of the few who doesn't see this being close. Provorov is world's better defensively than both and has the best ES offensive production. Werenski is a very good player who gets his points on the PP.. if Werenski was in Philly he wouldn't be their #1D nor would he be on the top PP unit, thus he wouldn't be as overrated as he is now

Wait.... You're suggesting Provorov isn't better defensively? Please don't.

Werenski isn't as good offensively as Ghost is either

I'm suggesting both those guys are really young and anything could be true by the end of this season, regardless of what happened last year when they were 19. Mostly just thought that was a silly argument. I'd take Werenski, but any of the 3 in this poll could end up the best.

You may be underrating Werenski. He is a very good defenseman. Saying that it isn't close is silly.

Sure, if Werenski was on Philadelphia and was paired with Andrew MacDonald and didn't get top PP time, he wouldn't be quite as highly regarded, but that is pure speculation.

I also prefer Provorov because he is the more well-rounded player, but Werenski will an elite defenseman.

That’s fair.

Provorov’s instincts and his ability to simplify his position is what really jumps out at me. It’s so incredibly rare to see a young defenseman so steady and refined.

Werenski is good, Elite? not ready to say that. He is/was the 3rd best defenseman on his team in a perfect situation with easy minutes. he essentially had Ghosts role, just bigger with less offense/more defense.. not close to IP
