Still Draisaitl

 

[CatchyTune]

Come on, not this again.

Mackinnon is the 2nd best player in the league.

 

[La Bamba]

biased but I like Drai's upside better. he's one of the league's best playmakers and scores at a 50 goal pace on top of it. he makes guys around him better e.g., RNH/Yamo

he's also becoming one of the best faceoff guys in the league at 58+% this year. once he rounds out his defensive game, he'll be near perfect player. McDavid needs to watch out, Leon could legitimately steal many Art Rosses and Hart's away from him

Some say first.

Some say first.

Mackinnon isnt better than Mcdavid... but he is better than everyone else

Some disagree

Some disagree

...do you?

 

[North Cole]

Still Draisaitl

Still D.R.A.I.*



Goin' up...

 

[hamzarocks]

Draisaitl now because MacKinnon is missing to much time while Draisaitl is having another incredible year.

If Mack comes back and tears it up with a insane playoff performance I'll move him up to 1B behind McDavid

Does MacKinnon get the Draisaitl treatment now that his linemates are ten times better than Draisaitl's?

Mackinnon does not play with a Mcdavid level talent.

 

[ijuka]

Draisaitl of course.

Mackinnon does not play with a Mcdavid level talent.

Draisaitl plays with Kahun and Yamamoto.

Let me guess, MacKinnon doesn't play with a Kahun level talent either?

 

[joe dirte]

...do you?

Hard to say. In thebpast i would have picked mcdavid but ive come to see that he is not without his warts. Many will say hes got a better team to work with, but the avs have hitvrashes of injuries in recent years and it just doesnt phase mackinnon. He keeps that team winning no matter who theyre missing. He plays an excellent, complete game no matter who hes with. I dont think its an absurd argument. Mackinnon may not be as flashy but he certainly is effective.

well, 5v5 you mean.

51/110 of Draisaitls points last year involved Mcdavid. And 15/26 this season. Its not like they dont play with eachother.

Draisaitl has 3 goals 12 assist at ES this year.

1 goal 6 assists with mcd.

Half his producton has come in a very small fraction of his ice time.... with mcd.

So 11 points without McDavid? That's almost as many as MacKinnon has total points.

So what you're saying that ES Draisaitl has scored just as many points without McDavid as MacKinnon has scored in total?

That's without even getting into the argument of "points scored with McDavid are worth nothing", which is pretty ridiculous in itself.

Ok? Still more Mcdavid-less points. And Draisaitl has played 5 more games.

And last year when Draisiatl had 59 points without Mcdavid and Mackinnon had 93? thats not even close.

 

[Gurglesons]

MacKinnon. This year is a mirage production wise. North Division is feasting on absolutely terrible defensive units.

The West's worst teams still have players like Lindholm, OEL and Chychrun, Karlsson and Burns, etc.

It’s so sad to see some people go to extreme lengths to pretend like mcdavid isn’t padding the stats of every single one of his teammates.

Would this thread even exist if Mack was on the Oilers and Drai played for the Avs instead?

1. Mcdavid

Huge gap

2. Mack

Small gap

3. Drai

The pts scored in the north need to be discounted. 20 pts in the north is roughly 17 pts in other divisions due to poor defense.

Methinks you are bad at math.
