OP, you seem to be confusing "Franchise defenseman in the ilk of 'Doughty, Hedman, Suter, Webber, Subban'" with "#1 defenseman". You've been using those two interchangeably in this thread, there is a big difference.
Is Provorov currently a franchise defenseman in the ilk of the best defensemen in the game? Right now, of course not. That's different than just a #1 defenseman.
Flyers fans are saying he's a number 1 dman. None of us are saying he's CURRENTLY at the level of those elite, franchise defensemen, though we're hopeful for the future.
