McDavid and Leon have both played 60 playoff games. McDavid has 96 points. He's basically right there with him.
Leon Draisaitl is one of the best playoff performers in NHL history

Mcdavid is 27 has 96 points in 60 games played
Draisailt is 28 has 100 points in 60 games played
Save to say that the ''struggling '' is simply wrong.
Both players are completing eachother perfectly and also had a way better offensive team compared to when they were younger.

I would say he wasn't as productive his first few playoff seasons but he wasn't terrible either. Def wasn't struggling. But yeah, if he was how he is putting up points now he would be much further ahead of Leon.

Amazing. What’s that, like 50 games during Lemieux’s time? Or is this where we’re supposed to downplay such impressive totals because they’re happening in present day?

Amazing player...always great in playoffs.
Has only played one game wit McDavid as linemate before someone is asking and has produced 5v5.

Imagine trying to discredit a crazy stat like that. Are you a hockey fan or just here to hate?
Remember when people said that Auston Matthew's is better?
I think a more fair comparable to Matthews is Casper Petersson.
Draisatl is really good in the playoffs. I hate it.

He elevates his game to McDavid's level (and even higher) once playoffs have started. Generational playoff performer.
Also: Draisaitl ranks first all-time in career playoff even-strength points per hour ever since TOI was officially tracked.

He already is a lock for the HHOF everything more that he adds is only icing on the cake.

That's why they had to put McDavid on Draisaitl's line in playoffs this and last year, because Draisaitl wasn't creating any chances and was unable to carry his own line..
oh no, I forgot. It was Draisaitl who was outscoring McDavid and putting up historic numbers without him. It was McDavid who needed Draisaitl in order to get going.
Okay name me the other players who have scored 18+ points 3 years in a row then?

Yeah, it's almost like every other player didn't also have the chance to produce at this rate. They just didn't want to. Or, I'm sure it's gonna show up in this thread sooner rather than later, they were "focusing on playing a winning style of hockey."
Anything you do in the NHL where the company in the top 3 is Gretzky and Lemieux is f***ing amazing. What an amazing player!
Leon Draisaitl is the greatest playoff performer of this generation ainec. Shame the Oilers management hasn't build better teams around him and McDavid.

I wish you all the bad things in life.
Amazing. He and McDavid are money in the playoffs. The separation between the two is minimal if anything. Would be curious who faces the tougher defensive match ups. My guess would be McDavid but I have nothing to qualify that.
Doesn't matter, both are just sick. The real question is - How do the Oiler not have any playoff hardware with two of the greatest playoff performers of all time? What the f*** rest of the Oilers!

Because this isn't basketball. You can't just rely on 2 players to win a cup.
6th stingiest team in the NHL during this time. Imagine how many Drai would have put up if he was playing against less defensive-minded teams.

Clearly, but it's a pretty f***ing good base to work off of.
In fact only four of the top 20 NHL PTS/G leaders don't have a cup. Thats Gilbert Perreault and Pavel Bure other than McDrai - and they didn't play together.
Having two of the best playoff performers of all time is an advantage that the Oilers should be able to leverage...
Also, I can't find the ERA adjusted stats but I would guess they would be be the 1/2 all time in PTS/G if that were applied.

If one is facing the tougher defensive matchup, the other plays the top offensive matchup. Unless you're Florida, those are usually not the same on most teams. Although, playing that Tkachuk line is not an easy matchup for any player.. Teams are so stacked and well constructed at this stage of the season.
