Lemme just try and get this straight Oiler fans...

Linemates don't matter when...Drai plays with McDavid, Matthews plays with inferior players
Linemates matter when...Drai plays on his own line with inferior players, discussing Kucherov/McDavid


Obviously an actual evaluation on Drai lies somewhere between how he plays with McDavid and how he plays on his own. He's a fantastic elite player but he's not better than Matthews, full stop. I honestly am not sure if deep down you earnestly believe he is.

I did not make those arguments so I am not sure why you are bringing them up now. All I said was that you cannot assume that Matthews will have chemistry with McDavid as not every player can play with him.

Also, you do not you get to tell me what I believe. Drai is better now but Matthews will most likely will be better in the future (assuming he can stay injury free).
