Leon Draisaitl was called up yesterday by EDM and before that he had 2 points in 6 games in the AHL. He woke up early and had a long day flying to the game and still managed to outplay his own AHL stats in one game.
I think this means he lacks motivation in the AHL, but really steps it up in the NHL. He's definitely good enough for NHL. I can only imagine how he feels being first round pick last year while McDavid was first rounder this year and still despite of showing he is more than ready for the NHL, the management sents him down to AHL, while McDavid stays in the NHL.
I get all the no rushing thing, but he's ready and sending him down will only hurt his development from now on. Keep him in the NHL!
