This. You have to go with Provorov who has already proved himself. Sergachev has been good through these 9 games but he still has the whole season ahead.give Sergachev 1 year and who knows. Now Ivan is clear choice
Agreed.It’s really unfair to compare the two when Sergachev has like 10 games in the league. Sample size is small, and most agree you need 300+ games before you can really make a determination on a defenseman.
Both have shown great promise but Provorov has the bigger body of work and far less support around him. He’s my pick without a second thought right now.
MacDonald?All I know is that I wish Provorov had a partner like Stralman...
If talent were equal, I gotta say Sergachev is in much better position to develop and succeed than Provorov is.
Philly has made some strides, but man, that team still has a long way to go before they can be considered a serious contender....meaning Provorov will have a tougher go of it on his road to being an NHL star defenseman.
Meanwhile, Sergachev is on a team that could win NOW and for the forseeable, barring injury disasters and under performing players like last season's Bolts.
And THAT means, Sergy has the opportunity to develop and become a star player under much better conditions with a better cast of players around him.

His offensive output is likely going to be limited by virtue of Ghost being on the same team as him and getting prime PP time, but I've been impressed most of the times I've watched him (a few bad games his rookie year notwithstanding).I gotta pay more attention to Provorov.
Over Hedman? Doughty? Jones? Werenski? Slavin? Lindholm? Sergachev ? I definitely see him being over some of these guys but all of them? Come on.And if I'm starting a team from scratch he's the 2nd defenseman I'm taking overall to start a team behind only karlsson, so him, by a mile.

I fully expect Provorov to win a Norris by 2020. And if I'm starting a team from scratch he's the 2nd defenseman I'm taking overall to start a team behind only karlsson, so him, by a mile.
LOL like Provorov has a chance of winning? Not being offensive dman is pretty big obstacle when it comes to Norris voting. Look no further than Ryan Suter. Even Doughty might not have his if he wasn't good ole canadian boy.I fully expect Provorov to win a Norris by 2020.
