Quoting: Claesson4Norris

Nobody is saying he's a better player than McDavid, but it's hard to argue he hasn't been better than McDavid this season.

In the last 18 months or so Leon Draisaitl has elevated his game to such a level that he's put himself into the "Best Player not Named Connor McDavid" conversation with guys like Crosby and McKinnon. Trying to dismiss all the work he's done by saying it's because of McDavid is lazy and it's not an argument I have any time for.

Agreed, and I wasn't saying anyone who replied on here was saying that but I was just saying that people on this website have, and well it's annoying. No player in the world is as Dynamic as Connor, Connor makes everything looks so easy and I'm not saying Draisitl is bad but the game I watched of him, he made 2 good passes, the 2 goals and the rest of the game he wasn't v good and just got frustrated a bunch.

What is your thoughts on Draisitl? What makes him so good, his shot or his big frame, he isn't really that fast.
