This is simply not true
this is simply not true, take a look at Draisaitl’s most common linemates this season. Please stop spreading this false narrative.
What, where's the lie?
Career Time on Ice w/ Connor McDavid
7512 TOI
Career Time on Ice w/o Connor McDavid
6959 TOI
(sum the numbers yourself with Natural Stat Trick if you don't think they're accurate)
24-25 All Strengths Ice time
TOI w/ McDavid
676:25
TOI w/ou McDavid
644:57
Yeah if you focus on JUST 5v5 and JUST this year, it's 400 minutes with him and 620 mnutes without. Yet still, McDavid is the 2nd most common forward linemate by icetime with him @ 5v5 this year.
He has and will spend more time on the ice with Connor McDavid than he does not for his career as long as he remains in EDM. It's a simple fact.
Malkin never didn't come remotely close to spending that kind of ice time with Crosby in his career.
Just to follow up to this...
-Draisaitl has spent 7512 of his ~14471 career minutes or 52% of his icetime with Connor McDavid.
-Malkin has spent 5775 of ~19017 career minutes (those minutes numbers are a little low because he played before advanced tracking started) or 30% of his career ice time with Sidney Crosby.
(again, if i phucked up summing the ice time in NST, feel free to correct me)
-Despite being 10 years younger, Drai has already played ~2000 more minutes with 97 than Malkin has with 87. Malkin didn't even play a 1/3 of his his career with Crosby out there while Draisaitl has played over half of his with McDavid.
-It's asbolutely a factor when comparing and analyzing these players imo.
