Are you saying we should vote for Kucherov since he didn’t play?

No I’m saying Draisaitl outscored Kucherov by 84 points last season. Duh.

 

[bigbabybuda]

Draisaitl. Being attached to McDavid on the PP is too much of an advantage over the others. That's not to say he's not a great player in his own right but that's clearly an advantage over the others he enjoys.

 

[NiagaraKraken]

Kuch if he plays all 82 games.

 

[Sempiternal]

I think Kucherov has a wicked season and goes toe to toe with McDavid. I see Draisaitl being on his own line a lot more this season with the addition of Hyman, but he still nets over 90 points if healthy.

I'm not saying that MacKinnon is injury prone, but he rarely seems to play a full season and so that will hurt him in this poll.

 

[ted2019]

MacKinnon

 

[jetsforever]

Dr Drai is most likely

 

[Namikaze Minato]

I'm excited to see where this goes after the obvious top 3 guys, imo.

 

[The Nuge]

McDavid and Draisaitl rarely play together outside of the PP already, so where’s this 35 point regression coming from?

 

[snipes]

Dr. Drai then Kucherov. Gets interesting after that, likely MacKinnon.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Draisaitl, Leon.

 

[Spilot23]

Draisaitl

 

[Steven Toast]

I go with the guy who has a significant lead on #3 over the last 3 seasons, Draisaitl.

Is that actually going to happen? Or will the Oilers once again stack that top line with McDavid and Draisaitl, plus Hyman, and then go with whatever is left over to hopefully produce secondary scoring?

there are enough weapons to have options now.

Drai-McDavid-Pulju
Hyman-RNH-Yamamoto

or even drop Yammo to the third line and bump Foegele up.

point is - still have options to make a pretty dang solid top six even if Drai isn't on his own line.

His pace over the last three seasons is 105, 110, and 123 points. Buddy banking on a 30 point drop for no reason is kinda weird.

This is something I can agree. Hyman, RNH, Foegele aren't good enough and we would need an internal growth from Holloway, McLeod, Pulju and Yamamoto to prevent McDavid and Drai from playing on the same line. Adding another player who's a tier above RNH/Hyman like Kessel would really move the Oilers to a new level of offense.

Too much schnitzel this offseason.

I'm not sure why Oilers fans keep trying to claim this when we have the numbers. They were put together again at the end of the season, and Draisaitl played 40% of his even strength time with McDavid and scored 65% of his even strength points with McDavid on the ice. Without McDavid, Draisaitl had an ES P/60 of 1.87. If he played all his ES ice time last year without McDavid and kept the same P/60, he would have had 30 ES points last year instead of 51, which would make his total points 63 instead of 84. 63 points in 56 games comes to a pace of 92 points.

I don't think this would happen, as I doubt they ever stay apart completely and Draisaitl's linemates should be more productive this year, but the reasoning isn't without merit.

Kuch was injured. Playoff Kuch was better than McDavid or Drai.

He was magical out there. Mcd>Kuch>who cares

Playoffs? Lol.

Actually his pace last season was 128 points. He got 110 points in 71 games

Making the 90 point prediction even more unlikely
