And what's your point?
that he’s an elite player and keeps producing even though you think he’s only on a hot streak. Clearly it’s not. Without Leon, Connor wouldn’t be what he is.

To the first part: you clearly don't understand the argument that's being made regarding Drai's current level of production (specifically goal scoring) and regression to the mean.
To the second: I have more confidence in McDavid producing at current levels without Drai than Drai producing at current levels without McDavid. That doesn't mean Drai is a bad player on his own, it just means McDavid is in a league of his own.
Why do you think he will regress?
Ok, maybe his shooting % might next year because he will shoot a ton more so there’s a chance he may not score on almost 1/4 of his shots. But because he might be shooting more he will probably have more goals next year.
50 goals next year before game 75 if he stays healthy.
So he's going to average 5 shots a game next season when he's currently averaging about half that?
Draisaitl will never have that many shots, he’s not a volume shooternow you've got it. Let's say 25 shifts a game, 1 shot every 5 shifts, that's ~410 shots a year, 50 goals = Shooting percentage of 12.2%
now you've got it. Let's say 25 shifts a game, 1 shot every 5 shifts, that's ~410 shots a year, 50 goals = Shooting percentage of 12.2%. Now that's at the elite level % that you think is possible.
Since 1979, there have been 7 seasons in which a player has had 400+ shots.
It's not happening dude.
Don't say you weren't told when the crash happens.
I don’t feel like quoting all your other wrong posts. But it’s obvious that you need to spend a little more time actually watching hockey games if you’re gonna post about how wrong my Draisaitl comments/predictions are. Although at this point you seem more like a calgarypuck poster. Too bad you couldn’t just agree with me before, but hopefully you’re enjoying watching Leon now. Stop pulling up meaningless stats and listen to actual fans that know what they’re watching, let that be a lesson learned for you.
Because he's on pace to double thatwhy is there no option for 70-80?
@McDavid87 with some excellent comments in this thread. Well done sir. @Little Fury getting schooled. And of course @HK97 babbling away in the background
Lol.
So the shot total is what you’re gonna in a talk about? Him having less shots and so many goals already (EVEN STRENGTHS MIGHT I ADD) just means he’s even better than I said.
And really? You’re gonna talk about whether or not he reaches 50 goals by game 75 or 82? Wait until he starts scoring more on the PP
Don’t forget that this whole time you’re saying he’s gonna a regress and all that crap.
This is aging wellHe's not gonna score on almost a quarter of his shots again. Take the under.
PPG is fine, but 100+ points is a pipedream.
He's on pace for 152 pts, but it's a long grindy season. I'll predict he'll finish 125-130, and will have to settle for #2 in both the Art Ross/Rocket race, to McDavid and Matthews respectively.
Gotta say that Draisaitl's stock in the hockey card community has risen to ridiculous levels. His rookie YG card nearly tripled within a year, and his The Cup RPA is one of the hottest commodities in demand right now.
This exact card was 6.5K just last Christmas. 15K now, and people are sending offers
