McDavid is going to McDavid, your right. That being said, if Draisaitl is stapled to his hip all year this year than he should be fine in terms of point production. Remember that RNH started last year with McD for the first while so Draisaitl wasn't his winger for a complete season.
There were WAY more career worst seasons on the Oilers last year than there were career best.
A lot of that production lost that you mention should hopefully be picked up by a improved bottom six.
Like I said in the post above, it should be very hard for them to repeat such a historical awful year for bottom six production.
I agree to an amount that the new bottom 6 will make up for some of the lost production off Hopkins, and I still don’t see Drai getting 50 again and over 100 points. But I still don’t see us having the defensive depth or goaltending to make up the points we missed by. If anything instead of being in the bottom 10 we are somewhere in the 10-12 range. We have to stay healthy as well, especially our high end guys.
