brelic Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Found this article on Provorov. That workout routine seems intense!! http://sonsofpenn.com/ivan-provorov-offseason-training-regimen-workout-paying-off-on-ice/ In a redraft, would you take McDavid over him? What about Eichel? Strome? Marner? Hanifin? Zacha? The one thing I will say is that I hope they can find a veteran presence for him once MacDud is gone - hopefully bought out after this season. I know, Provorov looks great on his own, but imagine what a true mentor can do. He's still a kid and will have a lot of ups and downs - having someone mentor *him* while he mentors the other young D would probably go a long way to balance things out. http://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/2018/defenseman/ufa/ Not a great list, but some food for thought.

Rumor has it he is son of Ivan Drago. However at this time documentation can't be found to either confirm or deny such claim. All that reporters can get out of him on this subject is the constant response of "I must break you!" More news at 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice poll! The kid is a beast! and in a redraft, I wouldn't take anybody over this kid. He has it all! He is quickly becoming my favorite player!!!!!!!!

He's the one I focus on when I watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'd take McDavid over him....Eichel, sorry, I really don't like his attitude...Strome? Marner? Hanifan? Zacha? Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanifan? Zacha? Not a chance. Agreed! Imagine if the Leafs had Provorov over Marner? They'd be better positioned for the future. Granted, they didn't know they were going to get Matthews... Yeah, McDavid is THE generational talent in that draft, and he's the only one I'd put above Provo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm in the mood for bold statements, so let's just say it: Ivan is the best draft pick this club has made since they took Robert Earle Clarke 17th overall in 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hextall did win the Conn Smythe in 1987, so I would still put him ahead of Provy ever so slightly AT THIS POINT, but you're not far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell they don't even get to that series probably. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Hexy in his playing days. What a site to behold he was.
