Our power play keeps rolling, Kahun either works on Drais line or they go back to DRY. Either way he's putting up 75 points. As mentioned earlier in the thread he rocked 89 in 56 last season.
So they keep the same coaches and same elite PP players, then add another very high end PP player and it’ll get worse?
the only thing that will limit the Oilers PP this season is game management by officials who think giving the Oilers PP’s gives them an unfair advantage.

I'm going with 90 points. Drai's pace last year would have scored him 88 points in a 56 game season and he scored 89 in the first 56 last year. I think he keeps that pace.

Regression to the mean.
There’s no way Oilers pp can stay at near 30% even if they added prime time Bobby Orr.

His point per game likely comes down - hard to match what he did offensively last year. He likely get more defensive responsibilities though, which was evident from Tippetts usage of the second line last game. I say he gets around low to mid 60 points with much better all around stats.

That's ridiculous. If they added prime Bobby Orr the powerplay would definitely be over 30%. The powerplay yesterday looked good they just didn't put the puck in the net. Watch other teams' powerplays and then watch the Oilers and it's completely understandable why the Oilers had a PP% that was that high last year. It wasn't because of luck, it's because McDavid and Draisaitl are that good in the offensive end when they have time and space.

Might as well bump this thread too.
So what is Draisaitl going to finish with, 85 points? 84 would give him an even 1.50 P/GP.

Drai is almost the forgotten man, he’s still right up there in my books. Come playoff time he’s gonna roll.

12 points up on the 3rd place scorers with a game in hand. Reigning Hart/Ross/Lindsay winner yet people still want to put Mackinnon, Matthews etc ahead of him as a better player. Draisaitl gets so little respect outside of Edmonton.

Oh look, Leon is leading the league in on-ice even strength goal differential at +31. Bergeron is +25 but with the same on-ice EVGF% as Leon at 65.4%. O'Reilly is at 61.2%. Couturier is actually -1 this year in on-ice EVGD.
NHL Stats
If you want to argue that Bergeron or a few other guys are better Selke nominees I'm fine with that but Leon should at least be in the conversation. His offensive zone starts (54.1%) are similar to the other players like Bergeron (56.6%) and O'Reilly (51.5%) and Couturier (51.7%) who get talked about for Selke, and he does get back to break up plays consistently.
NHL Stats
Bergeron, O'Reilly and Couturier all play around 2 minutes on the PK compared to Leon's 0:37/GP average though.
