Draisaitl could get 60 plus goals and 130 plus points in the same season. How far back do you have to go to find someone who did this ?

You mean if we ignore McDavid, lol? Off the top my head I'd say Lemieux and Jagr in 1995-96 were the last to do it before CM.
 
Matthews only has 20 goals so far, looks like a down year for him.
 
This has been the pattern for him in the last 4 years. One amazing year followed by a down year.

I think his overall game has really grown, I have seen him in Denver and NY over the past couple years a few times, and honestly I think he could probably win a Selke later in his career.
 
Relative to his peers, Draisaitl might be having one of the greatest goal scoring seasons ever...
lol he isnt even ahead of Matthews, which was literally last season. We get it, you want this to be legendary, but hes simply having a good season only, nothing spectacular.

Matthews plays on a better team than Draisatl.

...he did say "RELATIVE TO HIS PEERS"...if he laps the field by 15+, it's a major accomplishment...

While he's having a phenomenal season (0.75 GPG), I'd argue this is in part due to Kaprizov (0.65 GPG) and Ovechkin (0.70 GPG) both missing 15+ games. Throw in a down year by Matthews (who has also missed a good number of games) and you have a weak field, if you're judging only by raw totals.

Mega accomplishment for sure, but when he doesn't even surpass the previous years rocket winners goal totals, trying to argue that this is one of the best goal scoring season ever is a weird take.

The Oilers are also dogshit this year so....

Yes, but that doesn't make it one of the greatest goal scoring seasons in history. He's only 3 goals ahead of a 39 year old Ovechkin's pace.

He has been the best player in the league this year however and is deserving of a possible Richard, Ross, and Hart sweep.
