AO and PK benefit from their linemates evenly, LD is heavily dependent on one player, JS on two.

To be fair, look at that list for LD lol.

(Not trying to push the case much, but yikes, that really is some AHL stuff going on there.)

Have you not seen the Oilers roster ??? Those 2 basically are the Oilers roster....

Oilers have 3 players with 30 points or more
Hawks have 6 players
Caps have 7
Buff has 5

Not only that but after those 3 players the Oilers have 2 with 20 pts or more and the rest are barely even on the score sheet.

You've just answered your own question

I never discredit anyone .All I said why everyy one sleeping on draisitl

 

[shtorm2005]

Bad roster was never a reason to not rack up points and goals for good players. Ask Dallas and Colorado.

How is speaking the truth and facts discrediting anyone or thing?

 

[Randyne]

How is speaking the truth and facts discrediting anyone or thing?

What truth? AO and PK are scoring no matter who is passing. LD is dependent on one man show.
OVI at 40!

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Hold on. 13 seasons in and there are still people betting against Ovechkin? You should all know how this story ends by this point.

I love it when people actually do research and apply facts to arguments.

Ovechkin: 40 goals (23 GR)
Skinner: 36 goals (24 GR)
Draisaitl: 35 goals (24 GR)
P.Kane: 35 goals (23 GR)
Tavares: 33 goals (24 GR)
Point: 33 goals (23 GR)
Atkinson: 32 goals (25 GR)
Stamkos: 32 goals (23 GR)

 

[psycat]

No one talking about Draisaitl slowly inching his way to the top? Ohhh yeah that's right he is a product of mcdavid .

Ovechkins got guys like backstrom or carlson kuznetzov and oshie helping him score

Skinner also has Eichel Reinhardt and Dahlin

And Kane of course has toews Keith and this year Gustafson who is having a fantastic year out of know where .

Guess it's only the Oilers players who benefit from who they play beside. Everyone else obviously does it on there own

That doesn't fit since the popular opinion is that McDavid is playing 1vs9 everytime he is one the ice and if it would actually be acknowledged that Draisaitl might be a great player in his own right people see this as a threat towards McDavids "generational status".

It's Reinhart, no "D", which suits him well phonetically as well as in his playing style. Anyways, I do agree that Skinner is benefiting greatly from that trio. With that said, I've noticed that as the rest of them cool off to some extent and we inevitably revert to being crappy, Skinner has continued pace. I wonder if he's not playing for that contract whereas the rest of them realize the season is over. Either way, more power to him, he's been incredibly efficient in putting up goals even as the rest of the team dwindles. I fear we've likely lost our shot at him with this recent stretch.

This is the problem. How many players seem to have that career year during contract year and get HUGE money and completely disappear while collecting that fat salary .

IMO the NFL is the only league that has there ducks in a row in regards to contracts with having only a certain amount gaurnteed and can cut player at any given time

[sharkhawk]

De brincat has 32 now also.

OV just keeps chugging from the same play. God damn that's awesome!!

 

[Khomutov]

GOAT

 

[Nsjohnson]

Oh. my. god. He just doesn't stop.

 

[Varan]

that 1-T is unguardable

 

[DitchMarner]

So when is Laine going to catch him? Might want to start scoring again soon.

 

[gtrower]

Caps PP is starting to heat up after being putrid for the last 3 months. If that continues it’s more likely Ovi hits 60 than the field catches him.

 

[Plural]

That's getting kinda old, no?

 

[Firsov99]

So when is Laine going to catch him? Might want to start scoring again soon.

I feel bad for the kid. Hopefully, he’ll get back on track eventually.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Best goalscorer ever.

 

[Varan]

honestly, it's just annoying at this point. he's in a huge slump, doesn't make him a bad goal-scorer. he's literally going up against the arguable GOAT of goal-scoring
