Comparing his shot total to ovi is useless.
Ovechkin is a volume shooter, draisaitl isn't.
That's true.
I still don't think we can expect Drai to score on 21% of his shots next season though.

I agree, I just dont think the % is going to drop drastically, I dont think 15-16% is unrealistic for draisaitl.That's true.

Using his avg shooting% hes a 32 goal scorer.
I think a lot still want to assume this is an outlier for Draisaitl instead of a positive progression the player (not that I expect him to a regular 50 goal scorer)A 6 per cent decrease in shooting percentage and a drop of more than 20 goals is pretty drastic.

fair point, I meant for the player, Draisaitl in both cases"Draisaitl is progressing as a player" and "this season is an outlier" aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
Just like when Eberle had 70+ points, his shooting percentage showed a repeat is unlikely.That's true.

43-32 is 11.A 6 per cent decrease in shooting percentage and a drop of more than 20 goals is pretty drastic.
Nobody needs to imagine it. It's for real.Imagine having two 100 pt players and not making the playoffs.
He's got that quick half clapper one timer that is pretty much > 90% on net. The tendies are stopping it or it goes in. Although his dekes and setup may look unimpressive to most American/Canadian he continues to prove he can simply get the job done.That's true.

Not sure why he is constantly underrated in spite of his #'s year over year (with or without certain line-mates).
Isnt that certain poster over on the Arizona boards now? Thankfully.I don't think it's underrating him to say that he's extremely unlikely to repeat his shooting percentage again next year.
Every year the league sees a handful of guys who shoot well above their career averages and well above everyone else in the league. Those players regress the following season every single time. Every time it happens there are fans of the player who have a reason why their guy specifically wont be the guy who regresses. But they always do.
It's very unlikely that this isn't the case for Drai as well.
That being said... on the other end of "unsustainable" anyone else remember when a certain poster said Draisaitl wouldn't hit 25 ES points on the year and would finish with 50-60 points?
lol

He's trying his hardest on the main boards to be recognized as a diehard Coyotes fan."complains about Oilers being bad for the past decade"
"goes to a team that has been just as bad over the same period of time".
I lol.
Drai currently has the most points/season for a German-born player at 99 points.
Behind him are:
2. Draisaitl at 77 points (2016-17)
3. Draisaitl at 70 points (2017-18)
Whats the highest scoring german duo on the same team in history?Drai currently has the most points/season for a German-born player at 99 points.

Totally forgot about him being German. And he actually had a 105 point season.Media frequently lists Heatley at 102/103. Hopefully he beats that to and puts a rest to it.

Its gotta be Draisaitl and Rieder with 46 goals right?
