Leon Draisaitl 3rd 110+ point season in 4 years...

[Canovin]

No, the fact that he's not even top 10 in EV points and his team gets outscored when he's on the ice at 5v5 means hes a powerplay merchant.

Drai got that Mario Lemieux syndrome

 

[Soundwave]

Fun fact: Draisaitl has the highest modern playoff PPG, higher than anyone playing right now. Yes, higher than Crosby, McDavid, whoever the f*** you want to compare with.

His playoff PPG is virtually identical with some guy named Mario Lemieux and only below some other guy named Gretzky.

This isn't Drai's best regular season, he's even said as much himself, but lets put that into context ... a "bad regular season" for Draisaitl and he's still going to hit 120+ points.

There are great players, Hall of Fame players, multiple time All-Star players who never hit 110 points in their career period over multiple decades, this guy does it in a bad year, lol.

She's a bit of a grey area for me because she's hot but she looks like she's 14. So it makes me uncomfortable calling her hot.

So you think 14 year olds look hot because they look like Chloe?

I'm so sick of the stats and fans overrating Drai. He is not on the same tier as McDavid, Mackinnon, Matthews, please stop. He's a top 5-10 player in the league, and that's great - but stop with this whole Lemieux - Jagr, 2nd best player bs.

 

[notbias]

Looks like Oiler fans get really upset and just yell "points" when confronted with the fact Draisaitl is not great defensively and isn't the 2nd best player in the world, not even close.

He is in tier 3, sorry guys.

I think Draisaitl could very well put up numbers equal to or better than MacKinnon or Matthews this year put in their place. McDavid is on a different level, but even there in playoffs Draisaitl actually outproduces even McDavid.

Not in the same tier as Matthews? LOL....

Another Leaf fan pipes in

 

[McFlash97]

When was Crosby's 5v5 production ever "low end first line" lol. Didn't matter who was on his line...

Answer my question though. Stop dodging the actual question. Do you agree that Draisaitl is a 165 point player with McDavid if he played the majority of his time there and an 85 point player without him ?

If that's case Leaf fan than Matthews is 4th tier

 

[MessierII]

If that's case Leaf fan than Matthews is 4th tier

Matthews is tier 1. Generational +\-

 

[Duffalufagus]

50% of those points on the powerplay.

 

[Soundwave]

50% of those points on the powerplay.

Do powerplay points not count in hockey now?

 

[MessierII]

50% of those points on the powerplay.

So just like Crosby 120 point season?

 

[Soundwave]

So just like Crosby 120 point season?

And Lemieux's legendary 95-96 season, lol.

If he was American Whiskey would proclaim him the 2nd best player in the league posting history of American players is a cheerleading squad His posts on Matthews /Gaudreau/Eichel/Hughes/ backs my statement 100%

Those don't count. Not Oilers.

 

[Duffalufagus]

sure.

 

[Duke74]

Biggest powerplay merchant in NHL history.

All those years of moving the goalposts must make for some sore arms.

I remember the days when you stated that Draisaitl was overpaid and that for $8.5 million per year, he needed to put up 65 points on his own line or 90 points with McDavid.

Now that Draisaitl has blown those expectations out of the water, he can't score on the power play. So, tell me, what should he do on the power play? Throw the puck down back into his own end?

Just ignore the smoothbrains.
They only get their jollies when someone takes their full on Pejorative Slur statements seriously.

 

[Galactico]

Loll there is absolutely no way Draisatl is the 2nd best player in the league.

He is top 5 but would easily have 20 less points if playing without McDavid. Just imagine how many points Kucherov, Pastrnak or MacKinnon would have playing with McDavid.

Imagine the Leafs with Draisaitl instead of Matthews. Competing with Boston for 1st overall. Leon doesn't stand around waiting for Marner to pass him pucks in high scoring areas. Leon would turn be sitting at 100 plus points with the Leafs right now.

 

[Lahey]

he's great offensively, absolutely lazy piss poor defensively tho

 

[Riddum]

They're pretty decent at hockey

he absolutely isnt the 2nd best player. hes is not good defensively whatsoever, routinely blows the zone looking for odd man rushes and scores half (HALF) of his points on the PP lol.
