In the end, best of luck to you. People love bringing these post up in the future when you look like a dummy. Hopefully you'll at least have the honor to admit what a dumb idea this was.
Leading a bad Carolina team isnt an accomplishment. That's like saying Bracco is worth Frost because they are both the teams best forward prospects.
Werenski is great on the PP, and thats important. But we dont need Provorov to be great there, because we have Ghost, and hopefully, Sanheim soon. Im on board with the idea that Provorov should not be playing on the pp. We're in agreement there.
His 5v5 scoring is because he plays much easier minutes, and generally speaking, has been playing with much better partners, on much better teams.
This honestly isnt even worth discussing with you anymore. I'm glad you have a crystal ball that has every other Flyers D man and prospect turning out better than Provorov, despite none of them being better now, including a player who hasnt even set foot on NHL ice. You don't think Provorov is an exceptionally good d-man, and that's ok, I guess..? But I've got a good feeling your paddling that boat alone.
He led Carolina in points as a dman. Carolina was garbage but we weren't last year?
I get that I am alone on an island on this. But this idea that Provorov is another level than both Hanifin and Werenki and akin to Seth Jones is a homerism I refuse to subscribe to .
He did what, now?
No dman on Carolina had more points than Hanifin last year . He led their dmen in points as a 21 or 22 year old. Apparently it is meaningless and not impressive since Carolina is garbage and he is not Provorov.
Well, thats not what you said. You said he led Carolina in points, which just isnt true.
Being the highest scoring D man on the team doesnt mean youre a great d man, either. Hanifins defensive game was largely in question by anyone who watched him. His OZS% is through the roof - exceptionally higher than Provorov's- and yet he still counldnt outscore him.
Like i said - I get it, you dont think Provorov is anything better than good. Youre entitled to your opinion. It's just a garbage one, thats all.
The flyers system led to tons of points from the dman last season. All of the shots were from on high and the forwards were constantly passing and setting up the dman. He was behind Ghost in points . Also, I doubt Provorov will ever score that many points again - certainly he will never score that many goals again. Hanifin this season is second in dman points on his team behind the great Giordano.
It is not obvious at all that provorov is better than Hanifin. On these boards it is heresy to even suggest that Hanifin might be better .
To add some info on Werenski vs Provy.
Since they entered the league, Provy has 77 ES points. Werenski has 71.
Of course PP points matter. And you will find no Flyer fan sayingPP points don't count clearly. Also, Provorov has played more games and I am going to guess more minutes.

Provy is better on the PP.
I just wanted to show that at ES, Werenski has not been far better than Provy offensively like some think.
Help. How do you post gifs. I’ve got one for this...
