Early in a season . I guess Draisaitl is good for a 170 + points base on 11 points in 5 games .
It’s not about the point production, it’s about the changes he has made to his game particularly with and without the puck. He is making those around him better. The puck hog style is gone.
As Claude Julien remarked...
“I think that, at the moment, Jonathan is probably playing his best hockey since he’s been with us,” said Canadiens coach Claude Julien after Saturday’s win. “He’s playing with a lot of confidence and a lot of energy, and at the same time, he’s showing what kind of impact he can have on other players as well. It’s not the others that are making him better; it’s him who’s making them better. It’s a good sign for us and he deserves a lot of credit for it.”
