I'm sure at least part of the reason Draisaitl is on the top line is to keep McDavid sane.
I'm sure this gets over looked a lot.
I could see both of them wanting to play with each other, well, just because.
When the playoffs are out of reach, what else is there to play for other than individual stats.
I'm sure both of these guys are uber competitive and want to rack up as many points as possible.
And who is going to tell McDavid he doesn't get to play with Drai??
