I think Nylander and Provorov would be ranked the same relative to their position, but the D always holds more value than the W.... A lot more
Nylander easily has more value and is a player that brings a team closer to winning than Provorov.
Elaborate how he brings a team closer to winning when you haven’t made it out of the first round and didn’t even make the playoffs last year? Whilst provorov led his team to the second round, keep on dreaming
Provorov easily. He’s excellent at both ends of the ice and he logs a lot of ice time for the Flyers.
Nylander is a soft winger that does not contribute without time, space and the puck on his stick.
2-3 years ago leaf fans were already saying that nylander was better than john tavares.
Leaf fans said he was better than aho and gaudreau a couple years ago as well.
For some reason nylander gets extremely over rated by a small segment of leaf fans. Don't place to much weight on their opinions.
Nylander doesn't have that much value. It's been reported before, not even sure he gets you, Philippe Myers.
Mirtle: Can the Leafs even afford Alex Pietrangelo – or another big money D-man?

Maybe it's died down a bit now with some of the other young defenseman talent entering the league, but he got a lot of hype after '18, and there seems to be a number of people who consider him a clear #1D already, and I think he's been too inconsistent to be seen at that level just yet. He had a poor year in 18-19, and while he was good in '18 and this past year, his underlying numbers aren't quite as good as his reputation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the sense that if he was traded for now, it would be looked at as trading a "true" #1 defenseman and not a top pairing defenseman with #1 potential
