Leon Draisaitl is 17th in league scoring right now - where does he finish the year?

[Dion TheFluff]

What, on the team, or in the league?

Why not use goals against?

on his team. I already used GA/60. He's 3rd last

 

[Dust]

Isn't the entire Canucks roster shooting at an insanely high sh%?

13.8% as a team, which is sitting in all time great territory if they somehow managed to keep that up. The weird thing is Pettersson is shooting below his career average, which makes his season even more impressive.

Alright fair enough. Those are better stats than the ones I quoted.

 

[BKarchitect]

Hard to think he won’t finish top 10. It’s a down / unlucky year for him. Happens to the best.

The only real consequence is that fans on message boards are going to knock back his overall rating on video games and their “player rankings”.

Kuzmenko and Mikheyev have struggled relative to expected 1st line production, leading to guys like Suter and Lafferty spending time on his wing. Mikheyev, Kuzmenko, Suter, and Lafferty are all below average 1st linemates for a star center. PP has been reasonably good which has helped his production, though. A lot of the Canucks scoring has been driven by the 2nd and 3rd line.

Mikheyev hasn’t looked great but his 5v5 production is tied for 32nd in the league with guys like Pastrnak, Barkov, and Nylander.

Im a huge Drai fan, but I dont think he cracks top 5 or care if he does.

He's elevating a pair of 3rd liners into a formidable 1st line, and helping us win games.

Team is playing great hockey.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Fraud

 

[Voight]

Is he stapled to McDavid? If he's playing separate that could explain the lack of point production.

 

[McVespa99]

funny that he's played 180 5v5 minutes with Connor Mcdavid and only played 130 5v5 minutes with Connor Brown. I think Mcdavid would likely be a good linemate no?

Funny that those minutes he played with McDavid were early in the year when McDavid was injured. The coach played Drai with him so McD wouldnt have to carry the load. McDavid was actually a drag on Drai when he was on his line this year.
Be better Fluff

They just have good playmakers and finishers.

This right here. I can't speak for Draisaitl obviously but I wonder if he's just saving some juice for the playoffs. That's all that really matters. The Oilers should know that by now.

 

[NyQuil]

He’s playing Ottawa tonight, so 3rd or so.

 

[Video Nasty]

For those who need context, Drai has 15 goals and 33 points in 22 career games versus Ottawa.

29 of those points have come in his last 16 games.

Well, for those who need context, Ottawa hasn’t allowed fewer than 4 goals in a loss since November 2nd.

Bump.

Draisaitl has been getting hot again lately. 2nd in league scoring (behind #97) since Feb 1st.

He's up to 8th place in the scoring race right now - but he's only 10 points back of Pastrnak at #4 with 4 games in-hand.

I'll stick to my earlier prediction and say he finishes top 5 - I expect he'll finish 4th.

Fantastic bump.

Fantastic bump.

Normally you only find those in Latin America.

 

[PuckG]

I'll stick with 6-10. It feels like lot of players are much hotter than Drai is.

In itself, that's a testament to how good Drai is considering this feels like a down year for him as well.

 

[Realgud]

I don't think he cares about where he finishes in regular season scoring. He'll score a crazy amount in the playoffs again.

 

[Regal]

Seems unlikely he’ll pass Pasta, but I could see him anywhere in the 5-10 range. Probably 5 or 6

Poster says he’s scored 2nd most since Feb 1.

“I think there’s a lot more players hotter”

Nice.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Haven't Draisaitl and McDavid been playing together recently so 97 can win the Art Ross?

Playing together recently to win games, not to win McDavid a 6th Ross.

Nice.

I said “It feels.”

Do you believe Drai has played up to his regular standard this season?

The abrasiveness is useless. Get over yourself.

Edit: Jesus, you even changed the words to trigger yourself.

When your GM refuses to get you help while forcing a declining Kane on you I’m sure he was frustrated. He definitely hasn’t but it’s literally factual he’s been the 2nd hottest player in the past month and has been heating up lately while back with McDavid.

The team is winning so I don’t see any reason they get separated. Just a weird take from an Oiler fan, all I’m saying.
