Leon Draisatl - time to prove?

[snag]

Just got another assist on Yamamoto’s 2nd of the game.

He's a product of Yamamot like duh...

Oh and he got another

That's three for those counting

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

5 minutes into the 2nd and Draisaitl has 2 assists.

 

[Ctrain2k]

3 points already..... I’d say he’s doing fine.

 

[SenzZen]

5 minutes into the 2nd and Draisaitl has 2 assists.

*secondary assists

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

*secondary assists

..And he adds a primary assist.

 

[Spoilers]

*secondary assists

Gotta move those goalposts.

 

[Pip]

He needs to prove that he can produce away from Yamamoto

 

[Del Preston]

That last assist was his 400th NHL point. That feels quick.

German Gretzky

 

[Bank Shot]

I heard Connor texted Leon before the game.

These points don't count.

 

[nabob]

He needs to prove that he can produce and drive a line while the Oilers are 2 men short handed. If he cant put up points while being the only forward on the ice then he’s really no better than an average 2nd liner.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

That last assist was his 400th NHL point. That feels quick.

German Gretzky

400 in 407 so close to a career point per game which is rare

 

[OilCanada92]

*secondary assists

Draisaitl has 57 assists.
The Sens top scorer has 34 points.

Maybe the Sens should stop asking how and only worry about how many.

 

[thadd]

Prove what, he already leads the league in points without playing with McD 5 on 5.

Awwww! That's so nice coming from someone who isn't an Oil fan. I'm so touched! I had no clue anyone outside of Edmonton thought this way.

That' being said, I think it's time for Hopkins, hope Dria to pull up his pants.
I think you keep Drai and Yamma together and put Hopkins on a line with Kassian and hope that Hopkins pulls something off. Hopkins will be a UFA after next year and I kinda have my doubts that he's going to be back in Edmonton if he's depending a raise if he needs to play with a top 5 player in the world the crack 50 points.

 

[nabob]

400 in 407 so close to a career point per game which is rare

Factor in the McDavid multiplier and it’s the equivalent of 0.5 PPg.

 

[lawrence]

its more like a test to the Oilers then Drasatl. Any team that loses its best player will take a hit.

 

[Senor Catface]

He might hit 100 points tonight

 

[lottster14]

Draisatl is a beast.

 

[sportsdynasty]

Draisaitl has proven he's the best player in the league this season. Doubt that's going to change down the home stretch.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Except that 's not true at all......

.....40% of his points have come from playing with McDavid.

Who's being willfully ignorant??

that number will be going down after tonight

 

[CanadienShark]

Yeah...

The Oilers should just forfeit the next 3 weeks of games.

Drai really can't score at all without M. All of his goals are easy taps into open nets, and all his assists are phantom secondary assists.
cDavid.

He is bar none the worst 50 goal 100 point scorer in NHL history
Even this year, he's drawing all the easy match-ups which is how he's beating McDavid in the scoring race.

The Oilers should really consider trading Draisaitl away for depth (2x 25 goal scorers)


I would show you a series of strange math of obscure advanced stats and random calculations to show how ineffective Draisaitl really is.










Am i doing it right?

The guy is like Cheechoo, but worse, since McDavid is better than Thornton. I think that's how it works.

 

[Akrapovince]

Doesn’t count it’s against the Hawk’s and the Oilers are at home!

 

[snipes]

He needs to prove that he can produce away from Yamamoto

Needs to do it with John Scott and Brandon Manning as his wingers before any of his points count.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

NHL shouldnt allow Drai to talk to McDavid while hurt. Obviously McDavid is giving him pointers. Such BS

 

[Chelis Chili]

Yamamoto - product of Draisaitl

 

[Frank Drebin]

Its always amazing to see posters double down on their stupid opinions. Gives you an idea of who to pay attention to and whos opinion is absolutely worthless.
