This is where context is extremely important.
Draisaitl plays a insane 24:07 per game (which ranks #1 in the NHL amongst F) on a line with the BEST player in the world.
Matthews plays a pedestrian 19:25 (which ranks #34 in the NHL amongst F) on a line with noone in the same stratosphere as McDavid.
Draisaitl see's 3:48 of PP time of ice per game (which ranks #29 amongst F)
Matthews see's 2:40 of PP time of ice per game (which ranks #114 amongst F)
Looks like one guy is being put in a much better position to dominate than the other.
What would people's opinions be if you were to flip those scripts around and put Matthews on McDavids wing, with all that icetime and follow it up by drastically bringing down Draisatls icetime and playing center with Nylander?
Matthews would most likely score 70 goals playing on a line with McDavid.
