Value of: Leon Draisaitl

[Colt55]

I think he holds more value, yep. I don’t know about a ton more, but the guy that said Parayko+1st+Thompson is closer than you were.

Parayko’s good, but he took a step back. I see him more as a strong #2 and I’m only interested in the Pietrangelo’s of the world .

Parayako a top 6 forward wh plated nhl as rookie and a 1st. That's why over payment. Rather have all that then drais thomas is looking amazing.

Something around Shea Weber.

LOL jesus and here I thought Oiler fans were being dillusional in this thread.

How many teams would actually claim Weber if he were put on waivers? Considering you can't confidently say 100% of them would, that should show you he has minimal value.

Dumba+ one of Coyle/Nino/Zucker(ouch!)+ 1st.

Nashville would to make sure he doesnt retire

Seth Jones.

Drais has as much of a chance of being traded as Heath Ledger has coming back for a brokeback mountain sequel. It simply ain't happenin!

 

[Del Preston]

LOL a young #1 RHD, one of the most valuable assets in the league, for a 8.5M winger that has to play on a line with the best player in the world in order to put up points.

43 points at 5-on-5 this season. 22 while playing with McDavid. 21 while not.

Alright cool we'll keep him then.

Lock the thread boys.

If I were GM of the Oilers I would have 2 untouchable players, McDavid because he is generational and Draisaitl because he is a big strong reliable C that can put up points and play a 200 foot game and every team that doesn't have one definitely wants one!

Weird that he was so terrible at C that they glued him to McDavid's wing until they were so far out of a playoff spot that it didn't hurt to let him go back to C.

Seth Jones or Parayko+

So, how does a team with 2 supposed #1 dmen in Parayko & Pietrangelo on it miss the playoffs?

The same reason that a team with 2 #1Cs can miss the playoffs.
The other 16 skaters + goalie

It's called the Mike Yeo Effect.

Team comes out looking like a world beater for 20 something games, dives straight into the abyss for 2-3 months, late season surge down the stretch just barely missing/making the PO's. Rinse, Repeat and try not to claw your eyes out watching a PP that struggles with zone entries.

Weird that Drai takes the faceoffs and just as much defensive responsibility as McDavid.

Jake Allen and a bottom 9 that can't score.

Almost seems like you’re not familiar with him at all. Surprising.

 

[voxel]

Can we also speculate on the values of Matthews and Eichel next? Pretty please??

43 points at 5-on-5 this season. 22 while playing with McDavid. 21 while not.

Not to mention he goes from Mcdavid to Caggiula and Lucic. His play and production barely even drops off and people still go around saying he’s dependent on Mcdavid. Goes to show how stupid some people are.

He actually had 55 ES points this past season. Good for 18th in the league. The fact that he was still able to get points when moved off of Mcdavids wing to having to carry his own pile of shit Oiler wingers was very impressive.

It's obvious that you don't watch the Oilers, haters going to hate.

Exactly, like it’s his fault him and the best player have insane chemistry. With or without Mcdavid, Drai is a beast. He produces better with Mcdavid, everyone in the league would.

Draisaitl >> Matthews. Drai never ghosted an entire playoff series before. Quite the opposite.

If you think Draisaitl is terrible at C, then you’re legally blind. Simple as that.

Devastating. Just devastating to the anti-Draisaitl faction largely centred in Ontario.

You know what’s weird? I can’t remember ever seeing a single western conference fan thinking Draisaitl is overrated. They see him, they watch him, they 100% understand just how good he is.

Draisaitl when he’s really going is Evgeni Malkin. He’s not at that level all the time, but that is absolutely how good he can be if he can somehow get there consistently.
