Leon Draisaitl, back to back 1.5ppg seasons, joins elite club!

[Reindl87]

With his final assist of the season, Draisaitl joins this elite club.

The only other players who habe accomplished this in the last 40 years are Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr, Kurri, Yzerman, Coffey, Lindros an McDavid. So only the absolute elite of peak scorers could do it.

So, no Crosby, no Messier, no Forsberg, no Malkin, no Thornton, no Ovechkin, no Sakic, no Selanne, no Kucherov and so on.

Not bad for a guy who was declared a bum by the vast majority of this board a few years back.

Who's gonna tell him?

 

[Snipes45]

What about his plus minus?

This terrible guy with his plus minus...

 

[Zach716]

Pretty incredible. People in this thread will say it’s the Mcdavid factor but how many players in the league could you swap him out for and produce the same results?

What people don't ever get is YES, McDavid does help, but he is still good in his own right. Or even him helping McDavid and the chemistry.

Best contract in NHL who thought that when signed can't say I did.

The only good thing Chiarelli did. A lot of us thought it was too much by a million.

You go look at the guys making more than him and just laugh

a proven 50 goal/ 50 assist scorer with PK abilities and the best plus minus this year or close. Built like a tank.

A monster two way player

Very cool accomplishment - but Crosby was above 1.5 ppg 3 years in a row, even if low games played. Also - Coffey did this 3 years in a row.

Your list isn't exactly accurate

The guy is an absolute production machine- he’s under appreciated for a combination of reasons:he’s not North American, he doesn’t play in a major market, has McDavid soaking up the spotlight, and his play style isn’t as thrilling as McDavid, Mackinnon etc but it’s so effective and efficient.

No other play broke 70 points and he’s sitting with 84. If it wasn’t for McDavid, he would have won back the Art Ross with a sizable lead in a shortened season.

How many people expected Draisaitl to repeat his “career year” from last year? Well he just did.

Obviously Crosbys seasons do not qualify as he did not even play nearly half the games in two of them. For points per game stats Planung half the season has always been the absolute minimum.

 

[Black Kevin]

Alright, alright, alright...

inhales deep

WEAK CANADIAN DIVISION HE IS A PRODUCT OF MCDAVID HE'S NOT A WINNER ANYONE COULD RACK UP POINTS PLAYING WITH MCDAVID AND BARRIE HOW MANY EVEN STRENGHT POINTS DOES HE HAVE AGAIN AND WHEN WILL HE LEARN TO PLAY DEFENSE SO ONE DIMENSIONAL AND ON TOP OF THAT HE'S FROM GERMANY NOW HOW MANY GERMAN PLAYERS EVEN IS THERE THIS MAN IS FRAUD AND A 80 POINT PLAYER AT BEST THIS SEASON SHOULD HAVE AN ASTERISK f*** DRAI f*** WACK ASS NORTH DIVISION IT'S NOT EVEN HOCKEY NOT ONE OF THOSE TEAMS HAVE DEFENSE OR GOALIES LEON WOULD HAVE LIKE THREE POINTS IF HE HAD TO FACE REAL TEAMS LIKE BOSTON AND TAMPA FOR ALL I CARE HE SHOULD JUST RETIRE AFTER EDMONTON GETS BOUNCED BY A REAL TEAM IN THE PLAY OFFS

Crosby went. 1.61, 1.68, 1.56.

Those weren’t full seasons, so that’s why he wasn’t listed, would be my guess

I wouldn't consider 56 games full season either

The NHL does not care what your opinion is

He didn’t miss a game this season, so technically both were “full years”. Crosby only played 99 out of 246 possible games those 3 years you’re referencing, it’s pretty different scenario, as well as much shorter sample sizes.

Health is one of Draisaitls best qualities- only 4 missed games in the past 5 seasons.

Give him a few minutes to change the goal posts lol

I can see him rummaging through spreadsheets

He did not even play half the games in two of these seasons. Obviously these can not count for PPG season records. Seasons only qualify ifn you player a minimum of 50% of the games. It has always been like that. For good reason. You can find 1.5ppg 20 games stretches for a lots of players, obviously.

Two of these seasons were 50% and 75% of the season. But yeah obv not 82 games which 56 is not as well

Even if Crosby fans are desperade enough to include 41 games and 36 games seasons that still does not qualify him, as these seasons did not happen back to back. I am sorry. I know it hurts, but you will get over it.

It's actually minimum 50 points: NHL Records

So Crosby's 12/13 season would qualify.

FUN FACT: Crosby has the best assist season outside of Wayne and Mario in NHL history save for Oates serving up a peak Brett Hull in 90/91.

Well his 11 12 season most certainly does not, so sorry he is not in the Club.
