ok. let's take out the delusional word and see what your reasoning is for draisaitl being a wing?
I honestly am at the point that I don't know if I want draisaitl if given the choice. He seems to coast some. He also let's his emotions make stupid decisions and I am not 100% convinced he is as good as we think he is (sometimes) because he has mcdavid there. I do wonder how much points he would have if he wasn't on a team with mcdavid. Genuinely curious if he would still put up a lot of points or if he becomes middle of the pack type guy.
Sorry for the delay ,haven't been posting
I think draisaitl is one of the premier forwards in the league and I have no doubt if he was a redwing hed be posting 100pts here. Only thing I'd be slightly worried about is he"ll be 29 I believe when hes a free agent but i think hell still be a great player when hes 34-36
You can say your not sure hed have as much pts without McDavid which is fair but I think it works both ways, McDavid wouldn't have 150 pts without him either. But they do have their own lines for the most part and only share time mostly on the ppl
Anyways i think it be a great fit but now that I'm thinking about it with larkin kasper danielson at C and compher who will prob move to wing or be dealt at some point I doubt it happens unless we move one to wing
Kasper - Draisaitl -raymond
Debrincat - Larkin - compher
Soderblom - Danielson - berggren
Mazur - copp - ? Rasmussen
Way too early but that can look like a winning roster imo obviously if they all develop as we hope and stick around(dont think copp stays full contract and theres berggren rumors)
We go with those 3 at center and I'd say it's almost as good as when pens had sid Malkin and Staal at C
Anyways I cant wait to see the kids on the team that's when we'll know how close we are to winning
