Horvat has the better contract, and can be a shutdown player as well as an offensive player. He plays with probably the worst wingers of any highly touted young centremen (even worse than Mcdavids wingers) and still produces. Leon hasnt proved he can produce without Mcdavid. I would take Horvat. His contract is amazing too.

I think you could easily make a compelling argument for Horvat here, quality of linemates, two-way play and contract are all in Horvat’s favour, but I think Draisaitl is insanely talented and has shown this season he can still be an effective centre without McDavid.
I really like both players but I’d take Drai here. Contracts makes it closer but I’d still take him.

Draisaitl by a lot.
Would love Horvat on the Oilers though, always liked him.

I am a Canucks fan and I’d have to go with Draisaitl.
Even though Horvat is playing extremely well so far this season, I usually favor the player with more talent, and that’s Leon.

It's closer than people think .McDavid is a generational player. Draisaitl has 30/34 of his points when McDavid is on the ice.

Horvat
Flirting with ppg production with only AHL level wingers
Amazing in his own zone
Awesome contract
you only take Drai if you think he has the potential to become a top 15 forward in the league... he might.. but i dont think so.
I think that if he didnt have Mcdavid he would be a 60 point forwars :-S

Draisaitl is younger by 6 months. There's essentially no age gap here. Unless if we can only compare people with birthdays on the same day.

Kinda voids any point you're making........
What % of Leon's points come from McDavid this year.......I'm guessing it's really, really high.

Would he also be the 4th line center on the Leafs?
No, Draisatl is a talented player. He'd bump Kadri off the 3rd line for sure.
Wow! High praise from Holymakinaw!
Can you imagine McDavid as the Leafs second line center behind Matthews.
Jesus. He really is having to play with so many different players and most of them are bottom 6

It's tough, because it feels like any time i go and say something about Horvat's "ceiling", he goes and shoots it down in short order. But i really do still feel like Draisaitl has that extra level he can play at offensively (even without McDavid). Draisaitl just has a level of creativity and vision that i just don't see from Horvat. Contracts certainly makes it interesting though...considering Horvat makes just a bit more than half as much.
Hard choice because of Draisaitls contract, but I think I would still take him by a hair as he has a higher ceiling offensively. However Horvat has proven he can play a good two-way game this year and can produce with anyone on his line.

At this point, I wonder if Holymakinaw actually hates the Canucks more than he loves the Leafs.Wow! High praise from Holymakinaw!
