Is Leon Draisaitl Gonna Break Nathan Mackinnons HART

[Duke74]

How much does Makar benefit from MacKinnon? I thought there was a very telling stat that Makar numbers go way down went he is not on the ice with MacKinnon.

If so, this basically negates any talk of MacKinnon's team situation being better than Draisaitl's. It should come down to who simply had the better season without the irritating "VALUABLE TO HIS TEAM!" narratives being overplayed.

How much does McDavid benefit from Draisaitl? Because this year, the advanced stats show that McDavid's numbers dip significantly without Draisaitl while Draisaitl's stay high without McDavid and with glorified ECHL players on his line.

I'm not saying MacKinnon isn't deserving. Both players are. I'm just tired of the "b-b-but he p-p-plays with McJeezuz" argument.

I think if I was to vote today on the Hart. Is have to give it to Draisaitl.
Has a chance to win the Ross and get 60 goals.

It's a shame Quinn Hughes missed time. I had him as the leader until he went down.

Hellebuyck has to go on an absolute tear to end the season for any chance at winning the Hart. It is notoriously difficult to win as a non forward.

Funny how players seem to do worse playing with Draisaitl rather than better Arviddsson, Kaspenen, Foegele, Holloway.

Not sure the constant labeling of Draisaitl's linemates throughout his career as AHLers, 4th liners etc.. makes sense. At some point there should be some players who flourish with Draisaitl.

Arvidsson is washed at this point in his career. Kapanen was never a good player with anyone. Draisaitl rarely got any time with Holloway last year and he made Foegele into a 20-goal scorer.

Next?

Next?

Kaspanen has his lowest PPG by far this year since his sophomore season. He was a consistent 0.50 to 0.60 PPG player.

Arvidsson has gone from 0.83 to 0.40 PPG.

Foegle has 19 goals so far this year and Draisaitl assisted only on 7 of his goals last year.

Next?

Kapanen only played with Draisaitl for 5-10 games until Arvidsson returned from injury and he went to the fourth line. Small sample size.

Arvidsson has had back surgery and is barely a shadow of the player he once was. He was injured yet again this year, which further hampered his productivity.

Foegele was obviously unhappy in Edmonton as he stated later in an interview. Not necessarily anything to do with Draisaitl as he spent large portions of the year on the third or fourth line. This year, he plays higher in the lineup and hence more points.

Holloway? How much did he even play with Draisaitl last year?

And Kapanen is a replacement level player, hence why he was on waivers this year.

Arvidsson is as close to a legit winger he’s had and it’s clear he’s a shell of his former self whether he’s playing with Draisaitl or not.

Buddy, just stop man. Draisaitl would have turned Holloway into a 40 goal scorer or 80 point player this season if they played. Holloway was on the precipous of breaking out.

I honestly thought Holloway last year could have scored 20-20 easy if stapled to Drai like podz is here and had Holloway as a 30-30 this season if he stayed and was stapled to Drai like podz has been this season. Hell he probably deserves a shot on the PP above nuge here

2m it should have been an instant match. Other than the Drai contract I would have prioritized getting Holloway on a 3x3 contract or even a second year if possible before signing Henrique, skinner, and Arvidsson but management kept saying “it will get done”

Losing broberg is debatable at his cap hit but what we got in return is poor either way.

Edit: thought this was the oilers board for a moment lol Drai has piss poor wingers other than the ghost of mcdavid

You are never going to win the "who had the better linemates" argument when over 50% of your point shares in your career are with a player who could be Top 5 (or better) all-time.

I would ignore those use that argument to pump up Mac. I don't think the voters are going decide based on that anyways.

I wasn't denying that he has better linemates around 50% of the time. He clearly has worse ones the other 50%, though.

Seems like a difficult concept to grasp.
