BOLD STATEMENT: You're not the first person to think that.... I can't believe we're still having this conversation after he just put up 50 goals.

Anyone have Draisaitl’s numbers with McDavid and without? Not just goals and points but some of the analytics too.

"Tonight he was horrible"
That's why he had the only 2 passes that made any sort of contribution to the Oilers offense.

No he isn't. He just isn't.
To op: Draisatl is a top end player, 1c/1 la. Perennial all star type player. Top 20-25 or so forward. But playing with McDavid has carried him above that into one of the very best in the league. Top 5 or so

Highly highly disagree. I wanted him over Reinhart, and still do.

No hate on Ovi, he's the best goal scorer of all time. Draisaitl is a more complete player and it's not close.

Whoaaa! Not allowed to negativity talk about Ovechkin

This is just a hot take for the sake of having a hot take. Draisaitl is one of the most dangerous goal scorers in the league, and he's a more complete player than guys like Ovi, Laine or Debrincat.

How do you respond to something that stupid?

Draisaitle talent plays anywhere, its just such a drop off from him and Mcdavid to the rest of the oilers forwards, draisaitle has one of the best bang for your buck contracts there is. If he’s available jets would snap him up in a instant.

I will never be mistaken for an Oiler fan but Draisaitl IMO is just as important to the Oilers as McDavid. The progression Draisiaitl has made the last 4 seasons is simply astounding and he has become one of the premier 2 way forwards in the league

McDavids ppg was because Draisaitl weaved through defenders and made a nice pass to him in front of the net for an easy goal
Ok, so I'm sorry that I wrote this in this 'way' a lot of you misunderstood me, I was trying to say that he is not better than McDavid or even close to equal, he is scoring at such a high pace because of McDavid, not saying he isn't skilled because he is very skilled, just saying he isn't McDavid, why do people think he is?
Not really a bold STATEMENT
