Provorov or Adam Fox?

Man I love both. To be clear I’m a Rangers fan. I would say Provorov by a slight margin but this is Fox’s first season on a team that hopefully will be getting better and better. It’s hard to totally compare since Provorov’s had 4 NHL seasons under his belt to Fox’s 1.

Fox for me, Provorov's career has been a little bit of a disappointment to me.

Provorov for me, and it really is one of those "not even close" questions in my mind.

Nikishin turning heads.
I don't quite get this. Fox appears to have some nice skills, but Provorov is a stalwart in all facets of the game. They are on different levels in my opinion. But I guess I might have to tune into Fox's game a little more....

People are crazy if this is close.... Fox had a very good first year. So did Skjej...

This is a tough one in the right now sense, though I feel pretty comfortable picking Fox in a "moving forward" scenario.

Fox is better offensively and defensively.
How's that for a hot take?

Fox is better than Skjei ever was. As soon as late next year I expect this to be Fox, offensively and defensively. He’ll turn into a top 10-15 dman soon

Provorov has had some of his worst games in his previous down stretches against the Pens
. Might be going off those.But really, he's a fantastic player. He had ups and downs but the tools have always been there, and the presence of a smart vet like Niskanen on his pairing has pretty much eradicated the youthful downturns. Very effective all-scenarios defenseman who makes good passes, takes smart shots, and know hows to close off anyone despite his size. Just a super smart player, and very much a #1 D in the NHL.

Don’t say eye test when you mean points
If you flipped these poll results and gave 17% to Provorov, it would still be an injustice to Fox.

I think that has to be part of it.

I think this is also "Travis Konecny has a 50 point ceiling" guy, if I remember correctly. Excellent player assessments all around.
EDIT: In fairness this was an incorrect memory, he was arguing instead that Konecny "wasn't a play driver" or something like that. Stop liking this post plz.

You are correct to apply "not even close" to this poll, but you are incorrect in thinking what player should win in a landslide...

Yep, like I said. Fox is better in both ends.

He's definitely good, but much like Provorov, he does not belong in the same class as Adam Fox.
You do not.
