Where will Leon Draisaitl rank all-time by the end of his career?

[Video Nasty]

There will always be detractors who never give him his full due. They’ve supposedly watched so much hockey, yet need to see him man his own team or McDavid to miss entire seasons to be convinced he’s an all-time talent.

By the time it’s all over, he should rank inside the top 15, but people might not be comfortable enough to rank him anywhere above 25-30.

They likely never watched him play even a full game. Whatever.

Drasaitl's talent is basicly Ovechkin level as a goal scorer and Bäckström as a playmaker Drai's bit more concentrated on playmaking but yea his tools/abilities are that typic.

How is he an Ovechkin goal scorer basically, no one’s Ovechkin at putting picks in the back of the net. Also, Ovechkin never played with a McDavid, thank god for that.

Well i think Drai could score 60_70 goals per season if it was his priority in Edm but he is as good playmaker as scorer.
